Hi there!
We can solve by setting both equations equal to each other:
.5x + 4 = -.25x² + 5
Move everything to one side:
0 = -.25x² - .5x + 1
Multiply both sides by 4 to cancel out the decimals:
0 = -x² - 2x + 4
Factor out negative from both sides:
0 = x² + 2x - 4
Use the quadratic formula:
Plug in the corresponding terms:
Simplify:
Simplify the radical to reduce:
Divide all terms by 2:
1) Taking in account that the function is f(x)= -(2/3) |x+4|-6, I enclose a file with the graph.
That helps you to conclude:
a) The graph of f(x) has a vertex on (-4, -6)
b) When you multiply a function times 2/3 it is vertically compressed which is equivalent to horizontally streched.
c) The graph of f(x) opens downward
d) The domain of f(x) is all the real values (the absolute function accepts any value of x either positive or negative)
Answer: the graph of f(x) is horizontally stretched.

For this case we have that the expression in its exact form is the same, that is:
If it is expressed in decimal form we have:
If we want equivalent expressions, we must first mention the following property of powers and roots:
Then, we can rewrite the expression as:
