Complete the square:
F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2
The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :
F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.
The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from
(x + 1)² ≥ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2
This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.
As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.

Answer:
The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost of renting a truck from Company A can be expressed as;
Total rental cost(Company A)=Cost per day+Total rate
where;
Cost per day=70
Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.5×m)=0.5 m
replacing;
Total rental cost(Company A)=70+0.5 m...equation 1
2. The total cost of renting a truck from Company B can be expressed as;
Total rental cost(Company B)=Cost per day+Total rate
where;
Cost per day=20
Total rate=rate per mile×number of miles (m)=(0.6×m)=0.6 m
replacing;
Total rental cost(Company B)=20+0.6 m...equation 2
Equating equation 1 to equation 2
70+0.5 m=20+0.6 m
0.6 m-0.5 m=70-20
0.1 m=50
m=50/0.1
m=500 miles
The rental cost for Company A and Company B will be the same after 500 miles
