Answer:
Graph B
Step-by-step explanation:
The solutions to a quadratic equation are the points on which we have the graph of the curve touching the x-axis
Now the first thing we will do here is to solve the quadratic equation graph;
x^2 + 4x -12 = 0
x^2 +6x - 2x -12 = 0
x (x + 6) -2(x + 6) = 0
(x-2)(x + 6) = 0
x = 2 or -6
So the graph that touches the x-axis at the points x = 2 and x = -6 is the solution to the quadratic equation
Graph B is the closest to what we have as answer
Answer:
x = 2 + √3 and
x = 2 - √3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0.
Here you have multiple choices of methods of solution:
quadratic formula, completing the square, graphing, and so on.
If we complete the square, then: x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0 becomes
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 + 1 = 0, or
(x - 2)^2 = 3
Taking the square root of both sides, we get x - 2 = ±√3, so that the roots are:
x = 2 + √3 and
x = 2 - √3

Answer: C) Discriminant</h3>
The formula for the discriminant is
d = b^2 - 4ac
If d < 0, then there are no real number solutions
If d = 0, then you have exactly one real solution
If d > 0, then you have two different real number solutions
The square root of 289 is 17
The square root of 360 is 18.97... which would be rounded to 18
The square root of -90 is 9
