Answer:

Explanation:

Given the x-intercepts at -1 and 5, that means y=0 at x=-1 and x=5.

So (x+1) and (x-5) are root for the parabola.

y = (x+1)*(x-5)

That is the quadratic equation for Question B.

Back to A, the x-coordinate of vertex of this parabola is at x=2.

This is because the parabola is symmetrical at its vertex so the vertex must be at the mid-point between its x-intercepts, x=(-1+5)/2=2.
