Use a Graphing Calculator to Graph the Equation and Identify $$y = x ^ { 2 } + 5.2 x + 5.3$$

question 11

Multiple Choice

Use a graphing calculator to graph the equation and identify the x-intercepts. If your answers are not exact, round to the
nearest tenth.
- $$y = x ^ { 2 } + 5.2 x + 5.3$$

• A) \(x\)-intercepts: \(( - 3.8,0 )\) and \(( - 1.4,0 )\)
• B)\(x \text {-intercept: }(1.4,0) \text { and }(3.8,0)\)
• C)\(\text { x-intercept: }(0,5.2)\)
• D) \(\mathrm{x} \text {-intercept: }(0,5.3)\)
