Answer

(4;0)\mathbf{(4; 0)}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Determine the coordinates of B.

    The axis of symmetry for the parabola f(x)f(x) is given as x=1x=1.
    One x-intercept is A(−2;0)A(-2; 0). Let the other x-intercept be B(xB;0)B(x_B; 0).
    The x-coordinate of the axis of symmetry is the midpoint of the x-intercepts:

    xA+xB2=1\frac{x_A + x_B}{2} = 1 −2+xB2=1\frac{-2 + x_B}{2} = 1 −2+xB=2-2 + x_B = 2 xB=4x_B = 4

    The coordinates of B are (4;0)\boxed{\mathbf{(4; 0)}}.

  2. Determine the equation
