Question

Which equation could be solved using the graph above?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option b is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph in the picture is the graph of a quadratic equation and it takes the shape of a parabola.

The points on the x axis through which the parabola cuts across is used to determine the solution of the quadratic equation.

Looking at the parabola formed from the plotted points, it cuts the x axis at

x = -1 and x= -2

These are the factors of the equation. To get the equation, we multiply the factors.

x= -1, x +1 = 0

x =-2 , x + 2= 0

The equation is (x+1)(x+2)

Expanding the brackets,

x×x + x×2 +1×x + 1×2

= x^2 + 2x + x +2

= x^2 + 3x +2 = 0

Option b is the correct answer
