Answer

Vertex: $(0,5)$ x-intercepts: $(-1, 0)$, $(1,0)$ y-intercept: $(0,5)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x) = -5x^2+5$ $a=-5$, $b=0$, $c=5$ Vertex is at $x=-b/2a$ $x=-0/2*-5$ $x=0/-10$ $x=0$ $x=0$ $f(x) = -5x^2+5$ $f(0) = -5*0^2+5$ $f(0)=-5*0+5$ $f(0)=0+5$ $f(0)=5$ $(0,5)$ is the vertex and the y-intercept. $y=0$ $f(x) = -5x^2+5$ $0 = -5x^2+5$ $0-5=-5x^2+5-5$ $-5=-5x^2$ $-5/-5 =-5x^2/-5$ $1 =x^2$ $\sqrt 1 =\sqrt {x^2}$ $±1 =x$ $x=-1$ $f(x) = -5x^2+5$ $f(-1) = -5(-1)^2+5$ $f(-1) =-5*1+5$ $f(-1) =-5+5$ $f(-1)=0$ $x=1$ $f(x) = -5x^2+5$ $f(1) = -5(1)^2+5$ $f(1) =-5*1+5$ $f(1) =-5+5$ $f(1)=0$ $(-1,0)$ and $(1,0)$ are the x-intercepts of the graph.
