Which of the quadratics has a graph with x-intercepts of 5 and -1?
6
How many x-intercepts does the graph of y equals x2 have?
Just one. It's at the origin. (0, 0)
Is the x-intercepts the same thing as zeros?
Yes, the places where the graph of a polynomial intercepts the x-axis are zeros. The value of y at those places must be 0 for the polynomial to intersect the x axis.
How aerospace engineers use the quadratic equation?
The quadratic equation is used to find the intercepts of a function (F(x)=x^(2*n), n being an even number) along its primary axis (typically the x axis). Many equations follow this form. The information given by the quadratic equation depends on what your function is pertaining to. If say you have a velocity vs time graph, when the function crosses the xaxis your particle has changed from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. This information can be useful to determine the accompanying behavior of your position. The quadratic equation is simply a tool to find intercepts of a function.
Which type of graph is data plotted by a point on the graph?
line graph
