Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (-3,16) and y-intercept (0,-20). Write your answer in this form: (x,y),(x,y). If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.

someone please help fast

One common equation of a parabola is y-k=a(x-h)^2. How would you use this to find the equation of the parabola under discussion? Next, how would you find the x-intercepts of this parabola?

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

not to sure

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

all i know is i have about 7 min

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

to answer this before its all over ._.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You'll need to go back, re-read the original question, and then figure out how to use that data to find the equation of this particular parabola. Hint: In the equation I gave you, (h,k) represents the vertex..

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

yea and a=0

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

ive tried all of this

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

nothing is working so i came here hoping someone can get me an answer before its too late

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Sorry you are under pressure, but my personal goal is to help you understand this material, rather than to get an "answer" from a process you don't yet understand. You've tried all of this? Please share your work. No one is going to give you an answer.

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

3 minutes ._. its useless... thanks

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The equation you need is Alll right, be my guest and give up. Very sad that you expect answers and are not willing to work towards understanding.

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

i would but i dont have time

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

id never give up so easily if it wasnt this serious but its pointless to try something over and over again if i just keep getting the same result

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

1 minute... goodbye cruel world...

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

guess ill stick around on here and learn how to do it then

OpenStudy (shallowgam3r):

for tomorrow lol
