Question

Part 1:
Solve each of the quadratic equations below and describe what the solution(s) represent to the graph of each.

0 = x2 + 5x + 6
0 = x2 + 4x + 4

Answer 1

(x+3)(x+2)=0
(x+2)(x+2)=0
the solutions represent where the graph cuts the x-axis.
the graph cuts the x-axis at 2 points.
in the first equation, the graph cuts the x axis at at x=-3 and x=-2
in the second equation the graph cuts the x-axis at x=-2 (repeated root).
