Answer:
a. a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a. x-ints at 7 and -2
this means that our quadratic equation must factor to:
FOIL:
Simplify:
a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. one x-int at 3
this means that the equation will factor to:
FOIL:
Simplify:
a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. no x-int and negative y must be less than 0
This means that our vertex must be below the x-axis and our parabola must point down
There are many equations for this, but one could be:
a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. one positive x-int, one negative x-int
We can use any x-intercepts, so let's just use -1 and 1
The equation will factor to:
This is a perfect square
FOIL:
a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. x-int at
our equation will factor to:
This is also a perfect square
FOIL and you will get:
a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
