Answer:

y=0.5(x+6)(x+5)

Explanation:

Since the parabola goes upwards as it expands from the vertex, the "a" value is definitely positive so the answer must be either the top-left or bottom-right. Next, use the roots to find the final answer. The roots are on the left side of the y-axis which indicates that they are negative. Now you know that the answer is the bottom-right answer because if both roots are negative, then the expressions must include addition to create 0 which is the y-value at the bases.
