(#13/10#,#-81/20#)
I hope this help

Explanation:

y=5(x-#2/5#)(x-#11/5#)
1.Apply to distributive property
2. Cancel the common factor of 5
3. Simplify
#5(x-13/10)^2#-#81/20#
#y=5(x-13/10)^2#-#81/20#
x=#13/10#

Use the Vertex Form is y=#a(x-h)^2+k#
a=5
h=#13/10#
k=#-81/20#

Find the vertex (h,k)
(#13/10,-81/20#)
Find p with formula #1/4a#
#1/4*5#=#1/20#
(#13/10#,-4)
x=#-41/10#
Table Vertex
X|Y
-1|22.4
0|4.4
2|-1.6
3|10.4

Vertex: (#13/10#)
Focus:(#13/10#,-4)
Axis of symmetry: x= #13/10#
Directrix: y=#-41/10#
