-15
-5,3
-5,-3
-3,5

Answer 1

The roots are -5 and 3

Answer 2

-5 and 3

Explanation:

The roots of a quadratic function are also called the x intercepts.

The x intercepts are found by looking where where the quadratic equation crosses the x, or horizontal axis.

In this case, the quadratic equation crosses the x axis at (-5,0) and (3,0).

Therefore, our roots are -5 and 3
