y = x^2 +6x+10
.
To find x intercepts, set y=0,,and solve eqn
.
x^2 +6x+10 =0
.
Using quadratic eqn to factor
.
a=1,,,b=6,,,c=10
.
x=[ -(6) +/- sqrt (6^2 -4(1)(10)] /2 (1)
.
x=[-6 +/- sqrt (-4) ] /2
.
x= -3 +/- 2i,,,,,,,or no real number intercepts
.
further review shows an upward pointing y parabola,,,with vertex at (-3,1)
