Question

To open these doors, you must match the number and type of solutions for the following two functions in standard form.
f(x) = x2 + 6x – 16
g(x) = x2 +6x + 1
Match the following descriptions of the solutions to each of the functions above.
Hint: they each have their own match.

Two real irrationals solutions
Two real rationals solutions

Answer 2

find out the discriminant \(D= b^2 -4ac \) for both the equations

Answer 3

compare them with
\(f(x) = ax^2+bx+c\)
find a,b,c
find b^2 -4ac

Answer 4

if b^2-4ac comes out to be a PERFECT SQUARE, then you'll have 2 real rational solution,
else irrational

Answer 5

ok but what would a be represented as since there is no a value
