Question

Use complete sentences to explain how you would use graphing technology to find the solutions of 0 = 2x^2 − 3x + 0.5. What do the solutions of 0 = 2x^2 − 3x + 0.5 represent on the graph of the equation?

Answer 1

by making educated guesses

Answer 2

firstly y= ax^2 + bx + c
c= y intercept = where line hits y axis @ x=0

Answer 3

so i would plot that point first

Answer 4

do u know the second part?

Answer 5

@Jack1

Answer 6

so graphically... where would you expect the turning point of the graph to be?

Answer 7

the top

Answer 8

the main points when graphing a parabola are:
1 y intercept
2 x intercepts
3 turning point
4. whether it's a valley or an arch

Answer 9

this graph is a valley type
