(x) = ax 2 + bx + c has a negative leading coefficient and the vertex that has a negative y-coordinate. Determine the number of
real zeros of the function.
1 answer:
The number of real zeroes are the x intercepts or where the graph touches the x axis
negative leading coeficnet means it opens down
negative y coordinate means that the highest point is below the x axis
since it opens down and it is below the x axis, there is no x intercept or real solution (see attachment)
thereforr there are no real roots, there are zero real roots, nada, zip
