Question

I just need this one equation solved so I can use this equation as a reference to solve the other equations.
Question:
Convert between standard and factored form and use both equations to determine the x and y intercepts:
a) y = x^2 + x - 6

Answer 1

hmmmm

Answer 2

hmmmmmmmmm

Answer 3

the factored form how you get ?

x^2 +Sx +P = 0

S = x_1 +x_2

P = x_1 *x_2

do you know these ?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

try get two numbers with sum equal +1 and product equal -6

Answer 6

@Laylalyssa

Answer 7

do you know the way how you solve a quadratic equation ?

Answer 8

@supie

Answer 9

No that's why i'm asking for extra help

Answer 10

have you learn about discriminant ?

Answer 11

if no so than you need use the factorization method - about what i ve wrote above

Answer 12

please check it there

Answer 13

will do

Answer 15

..............

Answer 16

I am so confused....

Answer 17

If you need help still from there you can go to a website called khan academy because they provide all sorts of videos to help with any kind of math.

Answer 18

yeah

Answer 19

okay let me check out that website

Answer 20

for example

a +b = 1
a*b = -6

solve it for a and b

Answer 21

for example

3 -2 = 1

3*(-2) = -6

yes ?

Answer 22

and now how you write in factorized form your quadratic ?

Answer 23

x^2 +x -6 = ( x +3)(x -2)

right ?

Answer 24

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jhonyy9
x^2 +Sx +P = 0

S = 3-2 = 1
P = 3*(-2) = -6

ok ?
