Question

Identify the roots and the vertex from the parabola below:

Answer 1

in the figure

The root of the parabola are

• x = -3 and x = 1

The vertex of the parabola is (-1, 3)

How to find the values

To find the root, we look for the point the parabola intersects the x-axis. Investigating the graph, we can see that the points are

x = -3 and x = 1

The vertex is the highest point of the graph. Investigating the graph shows' that the vertex is at (-1, 3)

Answer 2

The root of the parabola is -3 and 1

The vertex of the parabola is 3

In a parabola, the vertex is the minimum or maximum point where the curve changes direction.

The root (or zero) is where the parabola intersects the x-axis, representing solutions to its quadratic equation.

Both the root and the vertex will be obtained from the given graph

From the graph;

The root of the parabola is -3 and 1

The vertex of the parabola is 3
