---
y = x^2 + 2x - 15
---
the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=1, b=2, and c=-15
---
to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:
1 2 -15
into this solver: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
---
the two real roots (i.e. the two x-intercepts), of the quadratic are:
x = 3
x = -5
---
the vertex is a minimum at: ( -1, -16 )
