Y = - 2 (x+5) ^2 + 18 what is the y and x intercepts?

Y intercept: put 0 in for x and you'll get the you value

Like this:

Y=-2 (0+5) ^2+18

Y=-2 (5) ^2+18

Y=-2 (25) + 18

Y=-50+18

Y=-32

(0,-32)

X intercept: put 0 in for y and do the same thing.

Like this 0=-2 (x+5) ^2+18

-18=-2 (x+5) ^2

Divide by - 2

9 = (x+5) ^2

Square root

3=x+5

-2=x

(-2,0)

Y = (-2,0), (-8,0)

X = (0, - 32)
