Question

Using the graph, determine the coordinates of the roots of the parabola​

Answer 1

(-8, 0) and (-2, 0)

Explanation:

The root of a parabola are the places at which the parabola intersects the x-axis. As one can see, on the graph these points are the following: (-8, 0) and (-2, 0). Thus, the roots of the parabola are (-8, 0) and (-2, 0).

Answer 2

-8 and -2

Explanation:

Hello!

The roots of the parabola are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis. The x-axis is the equation y = 0.

There are two roots for this parabola, as the vertex is lower than y=0, and it opens up.

The two points of intersection are:

• (-8,0)
• (-2,0)

Therefore, the roots of the parabola are -8 and -2.
