Find the vertex of this parabola y=-2x ^2-4x-5

(1, -13)

Brainliest, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, we use the formula, -b / 2a. In this problem, a = 2, and b = -4. c is -5, but we don't need to know it.

- -4 / 2(2) = 4 / 4 = 1

Vertex = (1, y)

Next, we plug 1 back into the parabola equation for x to solve for y.

y = -2(1)^2 - 4(1) -5

y = -2^2 - 4 - 5

y = -4 - 4 - 5

y = -8 - 5

y = - 13

Vertex = (1, -13)

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.

days of the week

step-by-step explanation:

javier earned more money then kyle, so that won't always be a constant term, but the days of the week do not change so that term is always constant.
