if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation
now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
Answer:
4x^2 -25
Step-by-step explanation:
The other factor of the difference of squares is the "conjugate" of the given one: (2x -5). Then their product is ...
(2x +5)(2x -5) = (2x)^2 -(5)^2 = 4x^2 -25
