Question

Please help me solve this short problem guys

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of the quadratic function is,

y = x² + 5x - 7

Convert this equation into vertex form,

y = x² + 2(2.5x) - 7

  = x² + 2(2.5x) + (2.5)² - (2.5)² - 7

  = (x + 2.5)²- 6.25 - 7

  = (x + 2.5)² - 13.25

Therefore, vertex of the function is → (-2.5, -13.25)

For the solutions,

y = 0

(x + 2.5)² - 13.25 = 0

x = (±√13.25) - 2.5

x = (±3.64) - 2.5

x = 1.14, -6.14

Solutions → (-6.14, 0) and (1.14, 0)
