we will find relevant points for example
y-intercept
when the value of x=0
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-(0)^2-10(0)-30 \\ y=-30 \end{gathered}[/tex]we have a point
[tex](0,-30)[/tex]x-Intercept
when the value of f(x)=0
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=-x^2-10x-30 \\ -x^2-10x-30=0 \\ x^2+10x+30=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]to solve x we use the quadratic formula
[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]where a is 1, b is 10 and c 30
replacing
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(10)\pm\sqrt[]{(10)^2-4(1)(30)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-10\pm\sqrt[]{100-120}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt[]{-20}}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]values of x-intercept will be imaginary(becuse a negative number into a root have imaginary solutions), then we can graph on this plane
then we ignore these values
Vertex
we can find the vertex point using
[tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]where a is -1, and b -10
then replacing
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-(-10)}{2(-1)} \\ \\ x=-\frac{10}{2}=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]replace x on function
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-(-5)^2-10(-5)-30 \\ y=-25+50-30 \\ y=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]then vertex point is
[tex](-5,-5)[/tex]Finally
using vertex point and y-intercept we can graph
We know it is a parable because degree of polynomial (grater exponent) is 2
the parable opens down because the sign of the first term is negative
then place the points and apply the previous tips
