Question

Analyze the function f(x)=-^2+5x+6. What do you remember about this type of functions? What do you recognize?

Answer 1

It's a quadratic polynomial (of degree 2) with a positive slope of 5 and a y-intercept of 6.

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant "x^2" and not "-^2".

Answer 2

It is a quadratic function. You are missing the x, I assume. You can factor it out to the bionominals of (x+3)(x+2).
