Question 924695
Find the x intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-5,80) and y intercept (0,-45). Round to the nearest hundredth 
<pre>
In the vertex form of a parabolic equation: {{{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}}}, substitute coordinates of vertex,
and y-intercept point to determine "a."
Then solve for x: the roots or the zeroes of the parabola.
You should get:  x = - 1.151 &#8776; {{{highlight_green(x = - 1.15)}}}  	OR            x = - 8.849 &#8776; {{{highlight_green(- 8.85)}}}
Then do a check!!
