The equation is
.
.
Quadratic function represents a parabola.
\Compare the quadratic function with standard form .
since then the parabola open downward.
Vertex is
Axis of symmetry .
Axis of symmetry is

Vertex is .
Find the - intercepts by substituting
in
Find the - intercept by substituting
in
.
Therfore - intercepts are
and
- intercept is
.
