Can i please get some help im pretty desperate and will give brainiest to first answer with some steps, just try your best please

To calculate the vertex you can use the vertex form ( i searched about the vertex and found it) but i don't know how to use it so i used another method.

The vertex is where the function inverts (y values) so it is going to be or a maximum or a minimum of the function. To calculate the min/max you derivate the function and then equal it to zero.

1) y  = -3x^2 -12x -10

the derivative of y is y' = -6x -12 = -6(x+2)

y'=0 <=>  -6(x+2) = 0 <=> x+2=0 <=> x=-2

y(-2) = -3(-2)^2 -12*(-2) -10 = 2

So the vertex is the point (-2,2) .

Because the slope of the equation is negative that means that the vertex is going to be the maximum , so the maximum is (-2,2) .

To find another 4 points you just have to pick values of x and replace them in the equation y  = -3x^2 -12x -10  to find y.

2) y = -2x^2 -12x -16

Do the same thing we did in point 1

y'= -4x-12 = -4(x+3)

y'=0 <=>  -4(x+3) = 0 <=> x+3=0 <=> x=-3

y(-3) = -2(-3)^2 -12*(-3) -16 = 2

So the vertex is the point (-3,2) .

this woman was an important writer and propagandist during the american revolution. she was a member of the committee of correspondence (in fact the committee was formed in her home) and was an advisor to many of the revolutionary leaders, including george washington and john adams. who was this revolutionary woman?
