@johnweldon1993 Help again bro?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the x axis the parabola crosses through the -5 and 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to factor each quadratic to figure out the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want me to walk you through it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill start with A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 + 4x -5 what two numbers add up to be positive 4 but multiply to be negative 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I don't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 and -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the factored form of choice A would be (x+5)(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-5 or x=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean positive 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i help u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you did, thank you!!
