math problem

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

@snowflake0531

snowflake0531:

So look at the two intersecting dots, what do they say as the x values?

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

https://www.desmos.com/calculator

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

ho do i graph it

snowflake0531:

Can you recopy the question

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

Given the function h(a)=9a2+46a, solve for h(a)=−5. Give an exact answer; do not round. (Use a comma to separate multiple solutions.)

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

9a^2

snowflake0531:

So graph 9x^2 +46x and also y=-5

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

im trying to post it to you but i cant

snowflake0531:

Why do you need to post it to me?_? Just find the two intersecting points, and write down the x values of them

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

i graphed it but i dont see intersecting points

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

-5 and -5?

snowflake0531:

How are they not intersecting lines

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

-5.1 and -0.11

snowflake0531:

._. Hover over the dots, and relook

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

the dots say those points

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

i SAID THOSE POInts lol

snowflake0531:

You said 5.1, it's just -5

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

but i did say -5 0.0

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

-5, -0.1

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @iuytyuioiuytyuiop -5.1 and -0.11 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @iuytyuioiuytyuiop -5 and -5? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

snowflake0531:

Then that's even more wrong

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

LOL

snowflake0531:

heh

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

-5, -0.1?

snowflake0531:

xdddd anyways, you got the answers now?

snowflake0531:

Actually, i would 1/9

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

1/9?

snowflake0531:

since I'm pretty sure the -0.111, continues on for a lot of ones So, -1/9 is more... correct, because 111 is rounding

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

it says give an exact anser

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

i forgot to put -1/9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AZ:

so @iuytyuioiuytyuiop you know how to use the quadratic formula, right? and you know how to graph to find the solutions, right?

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

i guess a bit

AZ:

well if you're just trying to save time, you could always plug it in to wolframalpha to give you the answer https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=9x%5E2%2B46x%3D-5 but otherwise, we need to use the quadratic formula to get the exact answer or if you knew \(-0.\overline{1111}\) was \(-\dfrac{1}{9}\) you'd be done but not all quadratic equations will give you such pretty fractions

iuytyuioiuytyuiop:

yep
