4x^2-2x-4=0 solve using quadratic formula

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Although you can start with 4x^2-2x-4=0, it's just slightly easier to reduce the coefficients. 4x^2-2x-4=0 becomes 2x^2 - x - 2 = 0.

The discriminant (part of the quadratic formula) is b^2 - 4ac. Using b = -1. a = 1 and c = -2, we get (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-2), or 17.

-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)

Then the quadratic formula x = ---------------------------

2a

-(-1) ± √17 1 ± √17

takes on the values x = ----------------- = ---------------

PRE CALCULUS

Mumz [18]

Start with the parent function f(x) = x³

Notice the function f(x) = (x - 4)³ that a value '4' is subtracted from 'x' ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated four units to the right.

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³, the function (x - 4)³ is halved vertically ⇒ Half the y-coordinate

Then the function f(x) = ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ + 5 that a value '5' is added to ¹/₂ (x - 4)³ ⇒ This means the function f(x) is translated five units up

So the order of transformation that is happening to f(x) = x³ is translation four units to the right, half the y-coordinate, then translate 5 units up.

How do you solve for the slope of a line with the equation ax^2 + bx + c?

ololo11 [35]

<h2>The graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c </h2><h2>A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form </h2><h2>ax2+bx+c,where a≠0 </h2><h2>All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is </h2><h2> y=x2 </h2><h2> The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex. The vertex has the x-coordinate </h2><h2>x=−b2a </h2><h2>The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum or minimum value of the function. </h2><h2>a > 0 parabola opens up minimum value </h2><h2>a < 0 parabola opens down maximum value </h2><h2> A rule of thumb reminds us that when we have a positive symbol before x2 we get a happy expression on the graph and a negative symbol renders a sad expression. </h2><h2>The vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in two is called the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry has the equation </h2><h2>x=−b2a </h2><h2>The y-intercept of the equation is c. </h2><h2> When you want to graph a quadratic function you begin by making a table of values for some values of your function and then plot those values in a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through the points.</h2>
