-2x^2 + 4x - 8 I need the possible x intercepts or solutions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

have you tried the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

x intercept is value of the x when y is 0. so equate the equation to zero and find the x values for it. try quadratic formula if you cannot factorise it.

cmon amistre

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is that a yes or a no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ok, then you should already have the solutions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (amistre64):

given ax^2+bx+c the quad formulais\[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You are really luck that amistre is such a nice person. First you tell him you have already tried the quadratic formula and then you ask him what it is.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

with this in memory it is just a matter of filling in the letters with the appropriate numbers and following the math

OpenStudy (amistre64):

mertz ;)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we complete the square that is just the longhand version of the formula so most people jump to the formula to do less work for the same price

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

anyone can solve it, thats the beauty of the formual itself and the ability to use a calcuator

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

you dont even need a calculator for these if you are allowed to leave answers in simplified root forms...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you have questions regarding how to solve it still, feel free to ask them. but the answer itself is up to you
