<span> first, write the equation of the parabola in the required form: </span>
<span>(y - k) = a·(x - h)² </span>
<span>Here, (h, k) is given as (-1, -16). </span>
<span>So you have: </span>
<span>(y + 16) = a · (x + 1)² </span>
<span>Unfortunately, a is not given. However, you do know one additional point on the parabola: (0, -15): </span>
<span>-15 + 16 = a· (0 + 1)² </span>
<span>.·. a = 1 </span>
<span>.·. the equation of the parabola in vertex form is </span>
<span>y + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>The x-intercepts are the values of x that make y = 0. So, let y = 0: </span>
<span>0 + 16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>16 = (x + 1)² </span>
<span>We are trying to solve for x, so take the square root of both sides - but be CAREFUL! </span>
<span>± 4 = x + 1 ...... remember both the positive and negative roots of 16...... </span>
<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>x = -1 + 4, x = -1 - 4 </span>
<span>x = 3, x = -5. </span>
<span>Or, if you prefer, (3, 0), (-5, 0). </span>

Answer:
(3.5, 17)
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be nice to see the whole graph, so we can see where the functions cross.
Without that information, we can still eliminate unreasonable choices.
A) the quadratic at y=3.5 is well above the exponential
B) the most likely choice (3.5, 17)
C) at x=-8, the quadratic is above the exponential
D) neither graph goes anywhere near y = -8
Stella divided 12/8.
If we divide 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5.
Let us check given options one by one .
A) Stella made an error : Stella didn't made an error because it's just division of two numbers.
B) The answer is exactly 1.5. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5, so this option is correct.
C) The calculator rounded the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no rounding is required.
D) The calculator truncated the answer. : On dividing 12 by 8, we get exactly 1.5. So, no truncation in the answer.
Therefore, correct option is B) The answer is exactly 1.5.
