is not factorable. You can change into standard form and read the vertex and also find the zeros (or x-axis intercepts) by equating y=0.



Also you could just use the general solution formula for a quadratic equation.





-------the x-axis intercepts, therefore the vertex and symmetry axis are quickly and easily found.
