Question

The graph 4x^2-4x-1 is shown. Use the grpah to find the estimates for the solutions of 4x^2-4x-1=0 and 4x^2 - 4x-1=2

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 0$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.25$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.25$.

b) The estimates for the solutions of $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 2$ are $x_{1}\approx -0.5$ and $x_{2} \approx 1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

From image we get a graphical representation of the second-order polynomial $y = 4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1$, where $x$ is related to the horizontal axis of the Cartesian plane, whereas $y$ is related to the vertical axis of this plane. Now we proceed to estimate the solutions for each case:

a) $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 0$

There are two approximate solutions according to the graph, which are marked by red circles in the image attached below:

$x_{1}\approx -0.25$, $x_{2} \approx 1.25$

b) $4\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -1 = 2$

There are two approximate solutions according to the graph, which are marked by red circles in the image attached below:

$x_{1}\approx -0.5$, $x_{2} \approx 1.5$
