Graph the Quadratic Function given.
y = -x^2 - 4x - 3

Concave down

Y-intercept: (0,-3)

X-intercepts: (-1,0) (-3,0)

Vertex: (-2,1)

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)
