Vertex is at (-5, -33) x-intercepts are at (0.745,0) & (-10.745,0)
y intercept is at (0,-8)

Explanation:

f (x) = x^2+10x-8 = (x+ 5 )^2 -33 So vertex is at (-5, -33) Y intercept:
putting x=0 ; f(x)= -8 :. y intercept is at (0,-8) putting f(x)=0 ; x^2+10x-8=0 :. x=-10/2 +-(sqrt (100+32))/2 :. x=0.745 , -10.745 So x-intercepts are at (0.745,0) & (-10.745,0) graph{x^2+10x-8 [-80, 80, -40, 40]}[Ans]
