Question 289949: Hello,
I cannot figure out how to solve the following problem - sorry it's 3 steps!
For f(x) = -x^2-4x+1
a. Fin the coordinates of the vertex
b. Fin the x and y intercepts
c. Rewrite in standard form
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a=-1
b=-4
a) x of the vertex is -b/2a
b)x intercept set y=0 and solve
b)y intercept set x=0 and solve
c) It is in standard form.
