y=2x2 + 3x-1
To find the zeros of this equation (when y=0) set the equation = 0
0=2x2 + 3x-1
Now, you can either graph the equation in a graphing calculator and find the x intercepts (where the function crosses the x-axis and y=0) or you can factor the quadratic equation by "smiling" or reverse foiling. However, this equation cannot be easily factored. Therefore, using a graphing calculator will provide the correct answer of x= -1.780776 and x= 0.28077641
You can also use the quadratic formula
where the general form of a quadratic equation is ax2 +bx+ c=0=y
In order to use the quadratic formula, you simple plug the corresponding values into the x= equation. This will produce the same results as graphing and finding the x intercepts.
If 5x plus 3y equals 13, the x equals 2 and y equals 1. This is because 5x2=10 and 3x1=3, and 10+3=13.
4y
a = 3 and y = 0
x = y = 0 ?
-17 + y,,must be equals to..-17y..
2
y=-10x-4
x = -4 and y = 2
x=.293 y=11.328
x = 14
(1, 9)
Y-8x plus 9y equals 10y-8x.
