For which value of x does the graph of y=3x^2-2x-5 cross the x-axis? A: -1 B: -5/3 C: -2 D: -3/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: it crosses the x axis when y = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0=3x^2-2x-5

I'm sorry but I still don't know the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you having trouble with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=2\pm \sqrt{4+60}/6=2\pm8/6=1\pm4/3\] so x= 5/3 and x=-1

OpenStudy (keana):

Ok thank you, I had that but I wasn't sure .
