What are the solutions for x when y is equal to 0 in the quadratic function y=x^2-8x

1 answer:

5 0

I would use the quadratic formula for this:

x = -b ± √b² - 4ac over 2a
x = 8 ± √64 - 4(1)(0) over 2(1)
x = 8 ± √64 over 2
x = 8 <span>± 8 over 2 [simplify]
x = 4 </span><span>± 4
x1 = 4 + 4 x2 = 4 - 4
x1 = 8 x2 = 0

Thus, the solutions for x would be 0 and 8.</span>

How do you calculate slope of a line ?

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points . hope this helps you :)

The graph of the function f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c has vertex at (0, 2) and passes through the point

Ann [662]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use vertex form of a quadratic to solve this.

Consider the vertex to be $(h,k)$

Another way of representing a quadratic is in "vertex form":

$f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k$

Now all you have to do is solve for a. You know that the vertex is $(0,2)$ and you have know the point of $(1,8)$ . Now, all you have to do is plug in these values and solve for a.
