Question

quadratic equations y = −3x^2 − 12x − 14

I got -2 for the x term but i got 22 for y and i think its wrong help?

Answer 1

There is no y-term, hun.

\[\frac{ 6 \pm 1\sqrt{78} }{ 3 }\]

x = 4.94
x = 0.94

Answer 2

using the quadratic formula, I end up with an imaginary number in the "discriminant"

Answer 3

oops i meant its a parabola @Compassionate

Answer 4

Parabolas only cross the x-axis. They never touch the y-axis. You only solve for x and x1.

Answer 5

i just went over it in the lesson and it said after you get the x you plug it in the problem to find the y point for the vertex

Answer 6

so im trying to fint the vertex

Answer 7

use the vertex formula
