Answer

Domain: $(-\infty, \infty)$ Range: $(\infty,2]$ Vertex: $(-3,2)$ Axis: $x=-3$ Y-intercept: $(0,-16)$ X-intercepts: $(-4,0)$ and $(-2,0)$

Work Step by Step

Domain: x can have value. Range: There are no points on the graph that have a y-value greater than 2. Vertex: Can be seen on the graph. Axis of parabola: Has the same x-value as the vertex. Y-intercept: Substitute 0 for x and solve for y. $$y=-2(0+3)^2+2$$ $$y=-18+2$$ $$y=-16$$ Zeroes: Substitute 0 for y and solve for x. $$0=-2(x+3)^2+2$$ $$0=-2(x^2+6x+9)+2$$ $$0=-2x^2-12x-16$$ $$2x^2+12x+16=0$$ $$x^2+6x+8=0$$ $$(x+4)(x+2)=0$$ $$x=-4,-2$$
