Convert equation of the parabola y=-6^2-6x to standard form and then find the product a x h x k.}}}
----------
Rewrite as:
-6x^2-6x + ? = y+?
-6(x^2+x + ? = y + ?
(x^2+x+(1/4)) = (-1/6)(y)+(1/4)
(x+(1/2))^2 = (-1/6)(y+(-6/4))
(x+1/2)^2=-(1/6))(y-(3/2))
h=(-1/2),k=(3/2)
Standard form is y=ax^2+bx+c
y=-6x^2-6x+0
a=-6
ahk=-6(-1/2)(3/2)=18/4=9/2
