These problems I having trouble finding the intercept and vertex and then graph stating domain and range
1.
y-intercept: substituting to the equation gives:
.
So the y-intercept is (0, -3)
x-intercept: substituting and solving the quadratic equation:

Therefore, the x-intercepts are (-3, 0) and (1, 0).
Vertex: by completing the squares:

The vertex is (-1, -4).
Domain: for x, there is no restriction, therefore, the domain is .
Range: The parabola opens up because the coefficient of is 1, which is positive. and the vertex is (-1, -4). The range is then , or .
The ...
