Your two answers would be A. x = -5.1, and F. x = 3.7.

The root of polynomials is found by the places at which the graph crosses the X axis. Therefore, we can just look at the graph and estimate where it looks like the graph has crossed the X axis, which seems to be -5.1 and 3.7.

I hope this helps!

Given a quadratic function in vertex form:

Alja [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

A vertical stretch takes place when $a\cdot f(x)$ given that $|a| > 1$

Part B

A vertical compression takes place when $a\cdot f(x)$ given that $0 < |a| < 1$

Part C

A vertical stretch is different than a horizontal compression:

In a vertical stretch, the input stays the same, but the output is multiplied by the scale factor
In a horizontal compression, the output stays the same, but the input is multiplied by the scale factor

Part D

A reflection across the x-axis means that the output, our y-variable, is the opposite sign. This means that all values of $a$ must be negative such that $a\cdot f(x)$ as mentioned in parts A and B. Also, in part C, since our scale factor is negative, the output is the only one being multiplied by the scale factor.
