Question 593252: without solving the equation (or factoring), determine the solutions to the equation x^2 - 6x = 0 and does the function have a minimum or maximum? what are the coordinates of the vertex in (x,y) form, and what is the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! without solving the equation (or factoring), determine the solutions to the equation x^2 - 6x = 0 and does the function have a minimum or maximum?
--------
Solving is finding solutions???
--> Solve without solving?
x = 0, x = 6
------
The coeff of the x^2 term is +, so it's a minimum.
---------------
what are the coordinates of the vertex in (x,y) form, and what is the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola?
-----------------
Axis of symmetry is x = 3
Vertex is (3,f(3)) = (3,-9)
