how do you find the a b an c?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is not necessary to find that coefficients

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

how many intersections are there between your parabola and x-axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if you look at my drawing, you can see that the parabola never crosses the x-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah
