You can  put this solution on YOUR website! --- 
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 )
