Question 1058606
describe graph of quadratic function f(x)=x^2+10x+12 and identify the vertex and the x intercepts(smaller x value and larger x value).
---
vertex occurs when x = -b/(2a) = -10/(2) = -5
--------
f(-5) = 25 - 50 + 12 = 13
Vertex:: (-5,13)
------------------
x-intercepts::
Solve x^2 + 10x + 12 = 0
x = [-10 +- sqrt(100 - 4*12)]/2
---
x = [-10 +- sqrt(52)]/2
