Question

A quadratic equation is shown below:

3x2 - 16x + 2 = 0

Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show your work. (3 points)

Part B: Solve 9x2 + 3x - 2 = 0 by using an appropriate method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the method used. (4 points)

Part C: Solve 3x2 - 10x + 2 = 0 by using a method different from the one you used in Part B. Show the steps of your work. (3 points)

Answer 1

start by writing down the quadratic equation, then identify the value for each variable.

Answer 2

Ok, s the quadratic equation is 3x^2 - 16x + 2 = 0

Answer 3

that's the equation for your parabola. The quadratic equation is used to find when and where a parabola crosses the x-axis. In other words, it identifies your x-intercepts.
