The town of West Mathington needs help planning some roads that will connect parts of their fair city. The town of West Mathington is laid out so that North is the positive y-axis, and East is the positive x-axis. The roads will follow the paths of graphs created from linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.

West Mathington’s most urgent need is a parabolic freeway. Create your own upward opening quadratic function, f(x), which has two real zeros. Prove that f(x) has two real zeros.

I'll post the rest as we go on. Thanks! :)
