Question

Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.

Answer 1

anyone plz

Answer 2

come thru please

Answer 3

well what about a = 1, b = 0 and c = 0

Answer 4

can this work

Answer 5

2x^2+6x-5

Answer 6

Answer 7

well it can work but the parabola is positive definite, meaning it doesn't have x intercepts..

you could try

y = x^2 -6x + 5

that works

Answer 8

kk

Answer 9

how can i find out the y intercept for x^2 - 6x +5

Answer 12

To find yintercept you set x as 0

Answer 13

y=(0)^2-6(0)+5
y=?

Answer 14

to find the y-intercept let x = 0

so y = 0 - 0 + 5

so the y-intercept is y = 5

x intercepts

let y = 0

so solve

\[x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0\]

find the factors of 5 that add to -6 both are negative

then the factored form of the equation is

(x - factor 1)(x - factor 2) = 0

then find the values of x that make each factor equal zero

x - factor 1 = 0 x - factor 2 = 0

these values will be the x intercepts

Answer 15

Ok so now that I have the y intercept i have to find out the zeros

Answer 16

How would i do that
