Question

Find the root and vertex of this parabola.
x^2 + 7X + 10 = 0
thanks

Answer 1

i don't know about the vertex but, that formula can be factored out into

(x+2)(x+5)

Answer 2

so your roots would be -2, -5

Answer 3

thank you!

Answer 4

vertex can be found using f(-b/2a) = x^2 + 7X + 10

ax^2 + bx + C = 0
Where b = 7 and a = 1

Answer 5

also the vertex axis is midpoint between roots for a parabola
