OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you look it crosses the x-axis to close to the origin then the graph that you have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me try again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i may narrow it down for you its not a or b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you able to graph the equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not good at it at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a graphing calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

better yet do you know the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=(-b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac})\div2a\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope just started this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equations from c and d and plug them into this. youll get the x-intercepts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. √8^2 -4(2)(5)= 4.89 4.89-(-8)=12.89 12.89/(2*2)=3.2225 if you look this is not the same as your graph which therefore leaves you with D
