Answer:
Here's what I get
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for a quadratic equation is
ax² + bx + c = 0
The quadratic formula gives the roots:
[tex]x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}[/tex]
D is the discriminant.
It tells us the number of roots to the equation — the number of times the graph crosses the x-axis.
[tex]D = \begin{cases}\text{positive} & \quad \text{2 real solutions}\\\text{zero} & \quad \text{1 real solution}\\\text{negative} & \quad \text{0 real solutions}\\\end{cases}[/tex]
It doesn't matter if the graph opens upwards or downwards.
If D > 0, the graph crosses the x-axis at two points.
If D = 0, the graph touches the x-axis at one point.
If D < 0, the graph never reaches the x-axis.
Your graph must look like one of the two graphs on the right in the Figure below.
