Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form of a quadratic equation;

Vertex of the parabolas (h, k)
The vertex of the parabola is either the minimum or maximum of the parabola. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, hence h = -3. The minimum of the parabola is the y-coordinate of the vertex, so k= 7. Now substitute it into the formula;

Now substitute in the given point; ( -1, 9) and solve for a;

Hence the equation in vertex form is;

In standard form it is;

Answer:
7 7/80 or 7.0875
Step-by-step explanation:
product is the result of multiplication
7/8 * 81/10 = 567/80 = 7 7/80 or 7.0875
Answer:
(Answer D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: y = -8x^2 - 2, y = -8x^2
The graph of y = -8x^2 is an inverted parabola with vertex at (0, 0).
That of y = -8x^2 - 2 is the same as above, except that the whole graph has been shifted 2 units down (Answer D).
