Question

Explain how the graph of the function below could be used to determine the solution to the corresponding quadratic

Answer 1

Answer:

To get the real solutions of the quadratic equation from the graph of the equation, we must determine the x-intercepts of the graph.

In this case, the x-intercepts of the graph are:

$\begin{gathered} (-4,0), \\ (0.5,0)\text{.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic function are:

$x=-4\text{ and x=0.5.}$
