Answer: Correct! Incorrect. The answers are:

q of x has zeros negative1 and 13
q of x equals negative one eleventh times the quantity x plus one times the quantity x minus thirteen

Start by graphing the quadratic function in the graphing calculator.
the graph of a parabola opening down and intersecting the x axis at negative one and thirteen
Find the zeros of the parabola. (Where does the parabola cross the x–axis?)
the graph of the same parabola with the zeros negative one and thirteen circled in red
The parabola crosses at negative1 and 13. These are the zeros of the parabola.
q of x equals negative one eleventh times the quantity x plus one times the quantity x minus thirteen Incorrect. Review the Learn It section, and then try again.
