Question

Find the x-intercept(s) and the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola y=x^2-6x+5 . If there is more than one x-intercept, separate them with commas.

Answer 1

1 and 5

Explanation:

First you want to find the factors of 5.

1 and 5

Now look at the sign of the second coefficient (-6y):

Since the factors of 5 are 1 and 5, and the second coefficient is negative, we can say that the roots of this function (x-intercepts) are 1 and 5.
