Question

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

Answer 1

The roots are located at (2,0) and (4,0)

In short, the roots are x = 2 and x = 4

The term "x intercept" is another way of saying "root". Both describe the location where the graph crosses the x axis.

Answer 2

(2,0) and (4,0)

Explanation:

Hello!

The roots of the parabola are the coordinates where the graph intersects the x-axis (y = 0).

As you can see, the vertex of the graph is above the x-axis, and opens down, meaning that there are two roots for the graph.

Points of intersection:

• (2,0)
• (4,0)

Therefore, the coordinates of the roots are (2,0) and (4,0).
