Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The roots of the quadratic function (x-intercepts) are
x=-1 and x=5/3
so
we can write the equation of the parabola as
where
a is a coefficient
Remember that
The parabola pass through the point (5,40)
substitute the value of x and the value of y of the ordered pair in the quadratic equation and solve for a
x=5, y=40
substitute
apply distributive property
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
