The vertex is where the goes up/down ( the endpoint). The y intercept is where the graph (parabola) touches the y axis (in this case -7,5) The x intercept is where the graph goes through the x axis (in this case it’s in 2 places; 2 and -4
The formula for this is . If the diameter is 8 the radius is 4, so filling in accordingly we have and which is and when you multiply in 3.14 you get that A = 401.92 or B above.
