Answer:

a) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Zero of a function is the x-value where y = 0

x² + 2x - 3 = 0

x² + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x(x + 3) - (x + 3) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

x = 1, -3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, if we plug in any of the given choices into the function and we get 0, then that's our answer.

A) (-3)^2 + 2 * (-3) - 3 = 9 - 6 - 3 = 0  -  correct

B) (-1)^2 + 2 * (-1) - 3 = 1 - 2 - 3 = -4  -  incorrect

C) 0^2 + 2 * 0 - 3 = -3  -  incorrect

D) 2^2 + 2 * 2 - 3 = 4 + 4 - 3 = 5  -  incorrect

So, the answer is A.

The alternative, more "formal" way of doing this problem is to factor the quadratic: x^2 + 2x - 3 = (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Then set each of these equal to 0: x + 3 = 0 and x - 1 = 0

We get the values of x = -3 and x = 1. Only -3 is one of the answer choices, so A is correct.

Hope this helps!

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below: x-intercepts: (-1,0) and (4,0); y-intercept: (0,1)
Luda [366]

Answer:

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.

Thus, we have;

(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0

Now, formula for quadratic equation is;

y = ax² + bx + c

Where c is the y intercept.

At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;

At (-1,0), thus;

0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1

a + b = -1 - - - (1)

At (4,0), thus;

0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1

16a + 4b = -1

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)

From eq 1, b = -1 - a

Thus;

4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4

4a - 1 - a = -1/4

3a - 1 = -1/4

3a = 1 - 1/4

3a = 3/4

a = 1/4

b = -1 - 1/4

b = -5/4

Thus;

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
