Work Step by Step

Given: $y=x^2-8x-20$ The x-coordinate is $x=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)}{2.1}=4$ Substitute for x to find the y-coordinate: $y=4^2-8(4)-20=-36$ Hence, the vertex is $(4,-36)$. Make a list of values: $x=-2 \rightarrow y=0$ $x=0 \rightarrow y=-20$ $x=8 \rightarrow y=-20$ $x=10 \rightarrow y=0$
