Part 1: Solve each of the quadratic equations below and describe what the solution(s) represent to the graph of each. Show your work to receive full credit. 0 = x2 + 5x + 6 0 = x2 + 4x + 4 Part 2: Using complete sentences, answer the following questions about the two quadratic equations above. Do the two quadratic equations have anything in common? If so, what? What makes y = x2 + 4x + 4 different from y = x2 + 5x + 6?
very easy. firstly x^2=\[x ^{2}\] now your equation x^2+5x+6=0, we will solve by factorization althought we can also solve by quadratic formula i.e \[x=(-b \sqrt{b^2-4ac} )\div2a\] but we will solve by factorization because it is easy, x^2+5x+6=0 x^2+2x+3x+6=0 x(x+2)+3(x+2)=0 (x+2)(x+3)=0 either x+2=0 or x+3=0 either x=-2 or x=-3
now 2nd equation x^2+4x+4 , we will factorize x^2+2x+2x+4=0 x(x+2)+2(x+2)=0 (x+2)(x+2)=0 x+2=0 or x+2=0 x=-2, the main difference between two equations is this that the first equation gave 2 answers and both satisfied the equation but 2nd equation gave two same answer and they obviously satisfied the equation
these quadratic equation have something in common i.e they both can be solved by factorization and there is no need to apply quadratic formula
