Solve the quadratic equation: x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0

• x = -2, x = -3

• x = 2, x = 3

• x = 0, x = 6

• x = 1, x = 4

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

• y = a(x-h)^2 - k

• y = a(x+h)^2 - k

Explain the difference between roots and solutions of a quadratic equation.

• Roots are always positive, while solutions can be negative.

• Roots are obtained by dividing the quadratic equation by x, while solutions are found by adding x.

• Roots are imaginary values, while solutions are real numbers.

• Roots are specific values of x where the quadratic equation equals zero, while solutions are values of x that satisfy the equation.

Factorize the quadratic expression: x^2 + 7x + 10

• (x + 2)(x + 5)
