write the equation of the quadratic function with roots -10 and -8 and a vertex at (-9, -3)

y = 3x² + 54x + 240

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k) = (- 9, - 3), thus

y = a(x + 9)² - 3

To find a substitute either of the roots into the equation

Using (- 8, 0), then

0 = a(- 8 + 9)² - 3

0 = a - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

a = 3

y = 3(x + 9)² - 3 ← in vertex form

Expand factor and simplify

y = 3(x² + 18x + 81) - 3

  = 3x² + 54x + 243 - 3

  = 3x² + 54x + 240 ← in standard form

answer:

c) the x-coordinate of the center of the circle increases by 3
