<h3>
<u>Explanation</u></h3>

The structure or equation is similar to a quadratic function.
The value of a determines the slope of graph.
Tthe value of h determines the horizontal shift of graph.
The value of k determines the vertical shift of the graph.
From the given equation,

We can say that the graph shifts to the right 2 units and shifts down 7 units. Hence the vertex would be at x = 2 and y = -7. It can be written in coordinate form as (2,-7).

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Noting that i² = - 1
Given
(7 - 3i)(8 + 4i) ← expand factors using FOIL
= 56 + 28i - 24i - 12i²
= 56 + 4i - 12(- 1)
= 56 + 4i + 12
= 68 + 4i → A
The vertex-form equation is
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 =
{-5, 3}
