Question

The graph of y = 4x^2 - 4x - 1 is shown use the graph to find estimates for the solutions of a and b

Answer 1

Answer:

a) -0.25 and 1.25

b) -0.5 and 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For 4x^2-4x -1 = 0

What we have to do here is to simply find he points on the x-axis in which the graph crosses it

we have this as;

approximately-0.5 and 1.5

what we are saying is that the plot crosses the x-axis at x = -0.25 and x = 1.25

ii) what we have to do here is to find the point at which y = 2

After finding this point, we trace it to the plot sideways, before we trace to the x-axis

By tracing, we have the crossing on the x-axis at these points at -0.5 and 1.5
