Solving Quadratic Equations: Quadratic Formula

Question 1

Determine which functions have two real number zeros by calculating the discriminant, b2 – 4ac. Check all that apply.f(x) = x2 + 6x + 8g(x) = x2 + 4x + 8h(x) = x2 – 12x + 32k(x) = x2 + 4x – 1 p(x) = 5x2 + 5x + 4t(x) = x2 – 2x – 15

Revolt · Accepted Answer

f(x) = x2 + 6x + 8; h(x) = x2 – 12x + 32; k(x) = x2 + 4x – 1; t(x) = x2 – 2x – 15

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Part 1: 7; Part 2: -10; Part 3: -2

Question 5

What are the values of x in the equation 4x2 + 4x – 3 = 0?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

x = –1.5, 0.5

Question 6

What is true about Marcus’s work? Check all that apply.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Marcus should have substituted –10 for b, not 10.; Marcus should have subtracted 4(1)(25) in the square root.; This equation, when solved correctly, only has 1 real number solution.
