Explanation Given Information: The equation of the parabola is y = − 2 x 2 − 5 . Consider the equation, y = − 2 x 2 − 5 The parabola having equation y = a ( x + h ) 2 + k will have vertical axis of symmetry. So that, the provided equation has vertical axis of symmetry. Now the parabola having equation of the form y = a ( x − h ) 2 + k , then if a > 0 the parabola will open upward and if a < 0 parabola opens downward. So, rewrite the provided equation as y = − 2 x 2 − 5 and compare to find a = − 2 . Therefore, as a < 0 the parabola will open downward. Now consider the provided equation y = − 2 x 2 − 5 to make a required table to draw a graph, For x = − 2 , y = − 2 ( − 2 ) 2 − 5 = − 8 − 5 = − 13 Therefore, the coordinate is ( − 2 , − 13 ) . For x = − 1 , y = − 2 ( − 1 ) 2 − 5 = − 2 − 5 = − 7 Therefore, the coordinate is ( − 1 , − 7 ) . For x = 0 . y = − 2 ( 0 ) 2 − 5 = 0 − 5 = − 5 Therefore, the coordinate is ( 0 , − 5 )

Maximization

Have you ever seen a bridge in the shape of a parabola? Where is its maximum on the bridge? The maximum of that bridge is the highest point on that bridge. The process of finding the maximum of the bridge here is called the maximization.
