i really need help

Answer 3

a. Factoring the quadratic equation need adding and multiplying the roots of quadratic equation. This way is more difficult than using quadratic formula if quadratic equation is so complicated and roots are not real but complex numbers.
b. Graphing the parabola is simple way but need more time quadratic formula.
c. Identifying the vertex minimum or maximum is also need more capability for determining the vertex of parabola.
d. Using quadratic formula is simple way to find roots of quadratic equation, etc.
