Question

Create your own quadratic equation and demonstrate how it would be solved by graphing, factoring, the quadratic formula, and by completing the square.

Answer 1

give me a quadratic formula and ill try to walk you through it

Answer 2

equation I mean

Answer 3

Theres the part Im having trouble with, im not very good at making one up, i can probably solve it after I have one.

Answer 4

alright. lets make it an easy one
\[x^2+5x+6\]
do you know what makes this quadratic?

Answer 5

=0

Answer 6

ummm, no.

Answer 7

Can you help solve it by graphing thats the only one I dont know how to do.

Answer 8

alright the degree tells you its quadratic
\[x\] is linear
\[x^2\] is quadratic
\[x^3\] is cubic
now how do you solve this by factoring.

Answer 9

make a t table

Answer 10

okay

Answer 11

once you get your ordered pairs from the t table just plot them and fill in the parabola

Answer 12

how do I get the ordered pairs?

Answer 13

the x values you make up and when you plug x in to the quadratic equation your y value is the answer
consider
\[f(x)=x^2+5x+6\]
where f(x)=y
so you plug x values in to find y
if you plug 0 in for x you get the ordered pair (0,6)

Answer 14

when I was in high school we were taught to just generically use -2,-1,0,1,2 for your x values to solve for the corresponding y values
then graph it
