Question

y=x^2-2x-5 What are the two x intercepts?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Hint:
if we set x=0, what do you get?

Answer 3

Hint:
if we set y=0, what do you get?

Answer 4

What's the point in first hint?

Answer 5

I thought tha also the y-intercept was requested @geerky42

Answer 6

you need to solve x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0

Answer 7

the 2 roots you get are the 2 intercepts

Answer 8

A parabol can interce[t the x axis in two places. When do you intercept the x axis? When y = 0. Therefore, you need to set y = 0 to find the x-interxepts

Answer 9

this equation won't factor so you need to use either the quadratic formula or completing the square

Answer 10

because I know the vertex is (1,-6) but im just lost after that

Answer 11

The vertex has nothing to do here. To find x-intercepts, you just set \(y = 0\), then solve for x
