Question

Y=2x^2+2x-4 what is the x intercepts for the parabola

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x intercepts, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x

So,

2x^2+2x-4 = 0

2(x^2+x-4) = 0

2/2(x^2+x-4) = 0/2

x^2+x-4 = 0

(x-1) (x+2) = 0

now,

x-1 = 0

x = 1

or

x+2 = 0

x = -2

The x intercepts for the parabola (1,0), (-2,0)
