Answer to Question #54914 in Algebra for kate

Question

Consider the following quadratic function.
f(x) = −4(x + 1)2 + 5

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph, if any exist. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
x-intercept
(x, y) =



(smaller x-value)
x-intercept
(x, y) =



(larger x-value)
y-intercept
(x, y) =

Convert the function into standard form.
f(x) =
