Question

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

Answer 1

(-1, 4)

Explanation:

Use of the coordinate plane.

The vertex of the parabola is 1 to the left and up 4.

Think of the vertex as where the curve starts.

Answer 2

-3 and 1

Explanation:

Hello!

The roots of the parabola are the intersections of the graph and the x-axis (y = 0).

Since the graph's vertex is above the x-axis and opens down, the graph has two roots.

The points of intersection are:

• 
  `(-3,0)`
• 
  `(1,0)`

Therefore, the roots of the parabola are -3 and 1.
