Question

Plot the value on the number line where this function is equal to zero f(x)=(x+5)(x-1)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

0=(x+5)×(x-1)=0

X+5=0

X-1=0

X=-5

X=1

X1=-5, x2=1 this is the answer

Answer 2

Plot a parabola that cuts the x-axis at x= -5 and 1 and has a turning point at y = -5

Explanation:

the equation is written as:

y = (x+5)(x-1)

This is further written as:

(x+5)(x-1) = 0

and x+5 = 0

x- 1 = 0

giving x = -5 and x = 1

The highest point occurs when x = 0, which is (5)(-1) = -5
