Answer

Vertex: $(-5,0)$ x-intercept: $(-5,0)$ y-intercept: $(0, 25)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=x^2+10x+25$ $a=1$, $b=10$, $c=25$ Vertex is at $x=-b/2a$ $x=-10/2*1$ $x=-10/2$ $x=-5$ $f(x)=x^2+10x+25$ $f(-5)=(-5)^2+10*(-5)+25$ $f(-5)=25-50+25$ $f(-5)=0$ $(-5,0)$ is the vertex. $f(x)=x^2+10x+25$ $y=x^2+10x+25$ $y=0$ $y=x^2+10x+25$ $0=x^2+10x+25$ $0=(x+5)^2$ $\sqrt 0 = \sqrt {(x+5)^2}$ $0 = (x+5)$ $0-5=x+5-5$ $-5=x$ $x=0$ $y=x^2+10x+25$ $y=0^2+10*0+25$ $y=0+0+25$ $y=25$ $(0,25)$
