What is the possible discriminant of the graph?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

where's the graph?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Uploading?

i posted it

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18 –11 36 0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

This is b/c the graph cuts the x-axis twice

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Use b^2 - 4ac to find the value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the anwer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that lol

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Try finding by inserting the values..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Use b^2 - 4ac to find the numeric value, Where's the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they didnt give me an equation they gave me this What is the possible discriminant of the graph? Answer 18 –11 36 0

:(

1st Note: I see that there are two points where the graph intersects the x-axis, so there are two real solutions to the function graphed. This means that the discriminant is positive. 2nd Note: I also see that the vertex and the zeros are all at 'nice' numbers -- all integers. This would mean that we have a discriminant that, when evaluated under a radical, is a 'nice' number.

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

i should say, two real zeros for the function graphed.

thank you
