Answer:

-15

Explanation:

y = (x+5)^2 + 5

y = x^2 +10x +25 +5

y = x^2 +10x +30

.

You know this is a parabola. So find several values of x to calculate values of y.

.

The axis of symmetry is where x = -b/2a.

-10/2 = -5

.

The vertex is where the parabola ends. It occurs on the axis of symmetry.

y = (-5)^2 +10(-5) + 30

y = 25 -50 + 30

y = 5

.

Pick several points to either side of the vertex.

x = -4, y = 6

x = -6, y = 6

x = 0, y = 30

x = -10, y = 30

x = 5, y = 105

x = -15, y = 105
