Question

3x^2-5x+2=0

Answer 1

(3x - 2)(x - 1)
x = 1, 2/3

Answer 2

Do i need both of those answers? or do i only need (X=1)?

Answer 3

both, because it's a quadratic so it crosses the x-axis twice

Answer 4

In what situation would you need only one answer?

Answer 5

If you have a linear function ( 0 = ax + b where a and b are numbers)

Answer 6

you can have them on quadratics in very specific times such as x^2 = 0. In this case it "bounces off" the x-axis

Answer 7

I thought that if one of the answers was negative, then you would only write down the positive answer?

Answer 8

nope, if you have two then generally you want to write down both of them. The only times you wouldn't is if they only ask for the positive solutions.

Answer 9

Okay, thank you.
