The equation of a parabola in the xy-plane is given as y= n(x + 5)(x - 3) where n is a non-zero constant. What
is the y-coordinate of the vertex of this parabola in
terms of n?
A. -18n
B. -16n
C. -15n
D. -12n

B

Step-by-step explanation:

y=n(x+5)(x-3)

or y=n(x²-3x+5x-15)

or y=n(x²+2x-15)

=n(x²+2x+1-1-15)

=n(x+1)²-16n

y -coordinate of vertex=-16n

step-by-step explanation:

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.
