Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x² + x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1
The factors are - 2 and + 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term
(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
Answer:
y = (x -2)^2 +4
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
for vertex (h, k) and vertical scale factor "a". When a > 0, the parabola opens upward.
One equation for your parabola could be ...
y = (x -2)^2 +4
__
In standard form this one is ...
y = x^2 -4x +8
