Answer 1

so you are right with these two points common with the x axis bc. than you solve this quadratic will get the interesection points with axe x and you know that a quadratic has a graph of parabola so will see that there are two point of intersection of x axe
- and bc. the first term of x^2 has minus in front so from this result that the vertex is below to the x axis sure
