F(x)=X^2+2x-5
What is the "axis of symmetry" ?
It's x = -b/2a
= -2/2 --> x = -1
-------------------
What is the vertex ?
It's (-1,f(-1)) = (-1,-6)
----------------
Does this function have a maximum or a minimum ?
Minimum
--------------------
How many roots does this function have ?
2
All quadratics have 2 roots.
--------------
What kind of roots does this function have ?
Disc = b^2 - 4ac = 4 - 4*(-5) = 24
Disc > 0 --> 2 real roots.
--------------
What are the roots of this function?

------------------
What solution methods will NOT work to solve this quadratic function ?
It can't be factored.
