I can assume that we want to find the roots and the vertex of the quadratic equation:
y = x2 + 5x - 7
For a general quadratic equation of the form:
y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
The x-value of the vertex is given by:
x = -b/2a
And to get the y-value, we just need to evaluate the quadratic function in the x-value of the vertex.
Also, for that general quadratic equation, we define the zeros as the x-values at which the graph of the function intersects the x-axis.
These are solutions of:
0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c
These are given by Bhaskara's formula:
![x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-b%20%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%7Bb%5E2%20-%204%2Aa%2Ac%7D%20%7D%7B2%2Aa%7D)
Now that we know this, let's solve the problem.
First, let's find the vertex.
The function is:
y = x^2 + 5*x - 7
Then the x-value of the vertex is:
x = -5/2*1 = -(5/2)
to get the y-value of the vertex, we need to evaluate the function in the above x-value:
y = (-5/2)^2 + 5*(-5/2) - 7 = -13.25
Then the vertex is: (-(5/2), -13.25)
Now let's find the roots, we just need to solve the Bhaskara's formula:
![x = \frac{-5\pm \sqrt{5^2 - 4*1*(-7)} }{2*1} = \frac{-5 \pm 7.28}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5%5Cpm%20%5Csqrt%7B5%5E2%20-%204%2A1%2A%28-7%29%7D%20%7D%7B2%2A1%7D%20%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-5%20%5Cpm%207.28%7D%7B2%7D)
Then the two roots are:
x = (-5 - 7.28)/2 = -6.14
x = (-5 + 7.28)/2 = 1.14
Concluding, we found that the vertex is (-(5/2), -13.25), and the roots are:
x = -6.14
x = 1.14
In the image below you can see the graph of the question, where you also can see the vertex and the two roots.
