4 quarts is equal to a gallon and during the 20 seconds of dispensary 3 gallons where dispensed so there would be 12 quarts dispensed instead of gallons and that is equal to 24 pints by multiplying the 12 quarts by 2 to get your pints.
Well to start with there is a vertex formula which is ,
Your initial equation is where . So you would plug in your numbers we know know that so plug in h in which would be (-2)^2+4(-2)+8 = 4-8+8 = 4 which would make the vertex
