Question 3 • Algebra 2

Which statement describes the quadratic inequality in factored form that represents the relationship greater than or equal to the quadratic equation containing the point open paren 6 comma negative 8 close paren on the boundary and zeros negative 4 and 10 ?

Answer
A
y is greater than or equal to 0 point 2 open paren x minus 4 close paren open paren x plus 10 close paren
B
y is greater than or equal to 0 point 2 open paren x plus 4 close paren open paren x minus 10 close paren
C
y is greater than or equal to negative 0 point 2 open paren x minus 4 close paren open paren x plus 10 close paren
D
y is greater than or equal to negative 0 point 2 open paren x plus 4 close paren open paren x minus 10 close paren

Explanation

Zeros of −4 and 10 give the factors (x + 4) and (x − 10), so the equation is y = a(x + 4)(x − 10). Using the boundary point (6, −8), we get −8 = a(10)(−4) = −40a, so a = 0.2. Since the relationship is greater than or equal to the quadratic, the inequality is y ≥ 0.2(x + 4)(x − 10), which is choice B.
