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)

5/12, or 5: 12

step-by-step explanation:

there are 25 people coming to the party

step-by-step explanation:

the text says that there will be 22 children at this party, 1 teacher, and 2 parents. so if you add them all together (22+1+2) it will equal 25. (=25)
