Question

I need to determine the coordinates of the roots of the parabola. please help me with this practice problem I need assistance.

Answer 1

Given

To find the coordinates of the roots of the parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The parabola is open downwards.

And, from the figure the parabola cuts the x-axis at two points namely, x=-8 and x=-2.

Therefore, x=-8, x=-2 are the roots of the above equation.

Then, the coordinates of the roots of the parabola is (-8,0) and (-2,0).

Hence, there are two points which are the roots of the given parabola and the coordinates of the roots are (-8,0) and (-2,0).
