This is a parabola, first, locate the line of symmetry.
the line of symmetry is x=-b/2a
in this case, b=-2, a=-1, so the line of symmetry is x=-1
when x=-1, f(x)=-(-1)²-2(-1)-3=-2
locate the point (-1,-2) on the grid. this point is the vertex.
get two pairs of points with x=-1 as the symmetry line:
(0, -3) and (-2, -3); (1,-6) and (-3,-6)
connect these five points into a parabola, stick out at the ends because it will extend forever downward.
Answer:

Answer:
45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a fraction with the of " something " on the denominator and multiply by 100% to create the percentage, that is
percent = 
× 100% = 45%
Answer:
67
Step-by-step explanation: Given the quadratic equation $z^2 + bz + c = 0$, Vieta's formulas tell us the sum of the roots is $-b$, and the product of the roots is $c$. Thus,
\[-b = (-7 + 2i) + (-7 - 2i) = -14,\]so $b = 14.$
Also,
\[c = (-7 + 2i)(-7 - 2i) = (-7)^2 - (2i)^2 = 49 + 4 = 53.\]Therefore, we have $b+c = \boxed{67}$.
There are many other solutions to this problem. You might have started with the factored form $(z - (-7 + 2i))(z - (-7 - 2i)),$ or even thought about the quadratic formula.
This is the aops answer :)
