Answer:

The y-intercept is -2

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 1 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the general form of the quadratic function

- The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c,

 where a, b , c are constant

# a is the coefficient of x²

# b is the coefficient of x

# c is the y-intercept

- The meaning of y-intercept is the graph of the function intersects

 the y-axis at point (0 , c)

- The axis of symmetry of the function is a vertical line

  (parallel to the y-axis) and passing through the vertex of the curve

- We can find the vertex (h , k) of the curve from a and b, where

 h is the x-coordinate of the vertex and k is the y-coordinate of it

# h = -b/a and k = f(h)

- The equation of any vertical line is x = constant

- The axis of symmetry of the quadratic function passing through

  the vertex then its equation is x = h

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = -2x² + 4x - 2

∴ a = -2 , b = 4 , c = -2

∵ The y-intercept is c

∴ The y-intercept is -2

∵ h = -b/2a

∴ h = -4/2(-2) = -4/-4 = 1

∴ The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 1

One solution to a quadratic equation is x= -5/3 What is true about any remaining solutions?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

There is exactly one more real solution or there is exactly one more complex solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is a polynomial of degree two

What this means is that a polynomial has two answers.

Now, from the question, we have an answer already which is a real root

Then the other answer which we do not have can take the form of two answers

It can either be a complex root or other wise be a real root

So the answer to this question is that ;

There is exactly one more real solution or there is exactly one more complex solution
