$a\cdot b\cdot c=\frac{15}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex is the minimum or maximum point of parabola

Vertex of parabola is (h,k)

Therefore, from given graph (-3,-2) is the lowest point.

Vertex of parabola is at (-3,-2).

Standard equation of parabola

y-k=a(x-h)^2

Substitute the values

y-(-2)=a(x-(-3))^2=a(x+3)^2

y+2=a(x+3)^2

(-1,0) lies on the parabola.

Therefore, it satisfied the equation of parabola.

0+2=a(-1+3)^2=4a

a=2/4=1/2

Now, using the value of a

y+2=1/2(x+3)^2=1/2(x^2+6x+9)

$y+2=\frac{1}{2}x^2+3x+\frac{9}{2}$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x^2+3x+\frac{9}{2}-2$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x^2+3x+\frac{9-4}{2}$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x^2+3x+\frac{5}{2}$

By comparing with

y=ax^2+bx+c

We get

$a=\frac{1}{2}, b=3, c=5/2$

$a\cdot b\cdot c=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times \frac{5}{2}$

$a\cdot b\cdot c=\frac{15}{4}$
