Question

Rewrite in factored form.

a.) y=x^2 + 5x - 24

Answer 1

Do you know the first step?

Answer 2

Well u first have to graph it and find the vertex's.

Answer 3

You want to factor the equation.

y=x^2 + 5x - 24

(x )(x )
(x - 3)(x + 8)

So now, we have:

x = 3 and x = -8
Those are were your points equal 0 on the graph.

To get the vertex we use -b/2a

-5/2(1)
-5/2
-2.5

Now you just need to graph it.

Answer 4

Ok thanks. Tht helped! )
