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
The answer is 204 square units
To solve for a number x,
3x+4x-2=15
7x-2=15
7x=17
x=2 3/7
or x=~2.43
was one of your answer choices either of the first two equations?
