A parabola is a quadratic function, and a quadratic can be expressed in vertex form, which is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex (absolute maximum or minimum point of the quadratic)
In this case we are given that (h,k) is (-5,80) so we have so far:
y=a(x--5)^2+80
y=a(x+5)^2+80, we are also told that it passes through the point (0,-45) so:
-45=a(0+5)^2+80
-45=25a+80 subtract 80 from both sides
-125=25a divide both sides by 25
-5=a, so now we know the complete vertex form is:
y=-5(x+5)^2+80
The x-intercepts occur when y=0 so:
0=-5(x+5)^2+80 add 5(x+5)^2 to both sides
5(x+5)^2=80 divide both sides by 5
(x+5)^2=16 take the square root of both sides
x+5=±√16 which is
x+5=±4 subtract 5 from both sides
x=-5±4 so the x-intercepts are:
x=-1 and -9

Answer:
I will try to answer this shortly it's tricky
What should denise do for her next step?
Answer: Out of all the options presented above the one that best represents the next step that denise should take after already using her straightedge and compass to construct the circle, lines, and arcs is to use the straightedge to draw line ac, line ad, line bc, and line bd. use the compass and straightedge to construct the bisector of ∠cpb∠cpb. Please see the attachment as reference to how it should look like once it is completed.
I hope it helps, Regards.
