Answer

Vertex: $(1/2, 5/4)$ Opens downward x-intercepts: 0, 1 y-intercept: 0

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=-5x^2+5x$ Vertex: $x=-b/2a$ $x=-5/2*(-5)$ $x=-5/-10$ $x=1/2$ $f(x)=-5x^2+5x$ $f(1/2)=-5(1/2)^2+5*1/2$ $f(1/2)=-5*1/4+5/2$ $f(1/2)=-5/4+5/2$ $f(1/2)=5/4$ Vertex: $(1/2, 5/4)$ Opens downward $x=0$ $f(x)=-5x^2+5x$ $f(0)=-5*0^2+5*0$ $f(0)=-5*0+0$ $f(0)=0+0$ $f(0)=0$ $y=0$ $f(x)=-5x^2+5x$ $0=-5x^2+5x$ $0=-5x(x-1)$ $-5x=0$ $-5x/-5=0/-5$ $x=0$ $x-1=0$ $x-1+1=0+1$ $x=1$ x-intercepts: 0, 1 y-intercept: 0
