Question

What are the factors of this quadratic function?

Answer 1

It is either A or B. A because the signs switch in the equation, or B from plain analyzing.

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

The factors are simply the places where the graph crosses the x-axis.

Looking at the graph, we see the two places are 1 and 5. So, we want factors that produce 1 and 5.

Essentially, our factors look something like x - a, where a is one of the roots. So, plugging 1 and 5 in for a, we get the factors:

x - 1 AND x - 5

The answer is thus A.
