Does someone mind helping me with this? Thank you!

Answer 1

It would be 5

Explanation:

Given quadratic function: f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 5

Factor the quadratic expression:

f(x) = (x - 5)(x + 1)

Set each factor equal to zero:

x - 5 = 0 --> x = 5

x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation are x = 5 and x = -1.
