Two x intercepts- When the discriminant is greater than zero

One x intercept- When the discriminant is equal to zero

No x intercept- When the discriminant is less than zero

How do you solve a quadratic equation graphically?

The roots of the quadratic equation are the x-intercepts of the curve.


How would you use intercepts to find the vertex in a quadratic equation with two x intercepts?

The vertex must be half way between the two x intercepts


Is it possible for the graph of a quadratic function to have two y-intercepts?

Yes. A quadratic function can have 0, 1, or 2 x-intercepts, and 0, 1, or 2 y-intercepts.


You can easily identify the x-intercepts of a graph of a quadratic function by writing it as two binomial what?

What determines if a quadratic function has no x-intercepts?

If the quadratic function is written as ax2 + bx + c, then it has no x-intercepts if the discriminant, (b2 - 4ac), is negative.


Where do you find the solutions to a quadratic equation on a graph?

The solutions to a quadratic equation on a graph are the two points that cross the x-axis. NB A graphed quadratic equ'n produces a parabolic curve. If the curve crosses the x-axis in two different points it has two solution. If the quadratic curve just touches the x-axis , there is only ONE solution. It the quadratic curve does NOT touch the x-axis , then there are NO solutions. NNB In a quadratic equation, if the 'x^(2)' value is positive, then it produces a 'bowl' shaped curve. Conversely, if the 'x^(2)' value is negative, then it produces a 'umbrella' shaped curve.

Why do you need x intercepts for quadratic equations?

so you can find the solution for the x-values. the x-intercepts are when the graph crosses the x-axis


Can you solve all quadratic equations?

NO!!!! On a graph a quadratic equation becomes a parabolic curve. If this curve intersects the x-axis in two places. then there are two different answers. If the curve just touches the x-axix on one place then there are two answers which both have the same valuer. If the curve does NOT touch the x-axis the there are NO solutions.


Which quadratic function when graphed has x-intercepts of -5 and 2?

(x + 5)(x - 2)x2 + 3x - 10this is your quadratic equation


When the graph of a quadratic function crosses the x axis twice the x coordinate of the vertex lies between the two x intercepts?

that's true


Does every quadratic function have 2 x intercepts?

Only if the discriminant of its equation is greater than zero will it have 2 different x intercepts.
