The vertex of a parabola is at (8-1), and it's why intercept is negative 17, which function represents the parabola

The function is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

In this problem we have

(h,k)=(8,-1)

substitute

Find the value of a

Remember that we have the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the point (0,-17)

substitute

x=0,y=-17

therefore

The function is equal to
