For instance, the factors<span> of 15 are 3 and 5, because 3×5 = 15. Some </span>numbers<span> have more than one factorization (more than one way of being factored). For instance, 12 can be factored as 1×12, 2×6, or 3×4. A </span>number<span> that can only be factored as 1 times itself is called "prime".</span>
As it has a maximum value the coefficient of x^2 will be negative
The vertex will be at (-8,2) so in vertex form it is
y = a(x + 8)^2 + 2
and as it passes through (-7,-1) we have:
-1 = a(-7+8)^2 + 2
-1 = a + 2 so a = -3
answer is y = -3(x + 8)^2 + 2
in standard form this is y = -3x^2 -48x - 190
