(a)
Let y = a(x + 4)² + 8 be the vertex form of the requiredequation.
(2, -4) lies on the graph of the equation :
-4 = a(2 + 4)² + 8
36a = -12
a = -1/3
y = (-1/3)(x + 4)² + 8
y = (-1/3)(x + 4)² + 8
3y = -(x + 4)² + 24
3y = -x² - 8x - 16 + 24
Standard form : y = -(1/3)x² - (8/3)x + (8/3)
(b)
Let y = a(x + 6)² - 5 be the vertex form of the requiredequation.
(-3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation :
4 = a(-3 + 6)² - 5
9a = 9
a = 1
y = (x + 6)² - 5
y = (x + 6)² - 5
y = x² + 12x + 36 - 5
Standard form : y = x² + 12x + 31

2.
Let y = ax² + bx + c
When x = 1, y = 0 :
0 = a(1)² + b(1) + c
a + b + c = 0 ...... [1]
When x = -5, y = 0 :
0 = a(-5)² + b(-5) + c
25a - 5b + c = 0 ...... [2]
When x = 2, y = 10 :
10 = a(2)² + b(2) + c
4a + 2b + c = 10 ...... [3]
[2] - [1] :
24a - 6b = 0
4a - b = 0 ...... [4]
[3] - [1] :
3a + b = 10 ..... [5]
[4] + [5] :
7a = 10
a = 10/7
Put into [4] :
4(10/7) - b = 0
b = 40/7
Put the values of a and b into [1] :
(10/7) + (40/7) + c = 0
c = -50/7
y = (10/7)x² + (40/7)x - (50/7)
y = (10/7)(x² + 4x) - (50/7)
y = (10/7)(x² + 4x + 4) - 4(10/7) - (50/7)
vertex form : y = (10/7)(x + 2)² - (90/7)
