Answer:
A graphing calculator is more accurate than graphing by hand. If the slope and/or y-intercept is a fraction or decimal, it is more difficult to accurately graph by hand.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1.a=2
2. C x=2 and x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the quadratic function is
ax^2 +bx+c
so we need to rewrite the function to be in this form
2x^2 -10 = 7x
Subtract 7x from each side
2x^2 -7x-10 = 7x-7x
2x^2 -7x-10 = 0
a =2, b= -7 c=-10
2. The quadratic formula is
-b ± sqrt(b^2 -4ac)
----------------------------
2a
2x^2 + 2x=12
Lest get the equation in proper form
2x^2 + 2x-12 = 12-12
2x^2 +2x-12 =0
a=2 b=2 c=-12
Lets substitute what we know
-2 ± sqrt(2^2 -4(2)(-12))
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(4+96)
----------------------------
2(2)
-2 ± sqrt(100)
----------------------------
4
-2 ± 10
----------------------------
4
-2 + 10 -2-10
----------- and --------------
4 4
8/4 and -12/4
2 and -3
(2c) / (3b)
(2*6) / (3*2) =
12/6 =
2 <===
