Draw a parabola concave down with vertex at . Since the leading coefficient of the equation is -16, the parabola should appear thinner than its parent function . Ensure that the parabola passes through the points and .

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The x-intercepts of a function occur at . Therefore, let and solve for all values of :

The quadratic formula states that the real and nonreal solutions to a quadratic in standard form is equal to .

In , assign:

Therefore, the solutions to this quadratic are:

The x-intercepts are then and .

Part B:

The a-term is negative and therefore the parabola is concave down. Thus, the vertex will be the maximum of the graph. The x-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic in standard form is equal to . Using the same variables we assigned earlier, we get:

Substitute this into the equation of the parabola to get the y-value:

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is located at
