-x2 + 5x + 24 Factor the expression, and use the factors to find the x-intercepts of the quadratic relationship it represents. Type the correct answer by each question mark, starting with the intercept with the lower value. The x-intercepts occur where x = ? (this is where the lower value intercept goes) and x =?

Astudent draws two parabolas on graph paper. both parabolas cross the x-axis at (–4, 0) and (6, 0). the y-intercept of the first parabola is (0, –12). the y-intercept of the second parabola is (0, –24). what is the positive difference between the a values for the two functions that describe the parabolas? write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth
