Alex is setting up an in-line skating course 21 feet long to practice weaving around cones. He wants a cone every 312 feet but not at the start or the end of the course. Question 1 Part A How many cones will he need? Enter the correct answer in the box. I need help ASAP

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
