Answer:
• multiplied by 4p: (x -h)² +4pk = 0
• zeros for k > 0: none
• zeros for k = 0: one
• zeros for k < 0: two
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Multiplying by 4p removes the 1/(4p) factor from the squared term, but adds a factor of 4p to the k term. (It has no effect on the subsequent questions or answers, so we wonder why we're doing this.) The result is ...
(x -h)² +4pk = 0
__
b) The value of k is the vertical location of the vertex of the parabola with respect to the x-axis. The parabola opens upward, so for k > 0, the parabola does not cross the x-axis, and the number of real zeros is zero. (There are two complex zeros.)
__
c) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is zero, the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis, so there is one real zero (It is considered to have multiplicity 2.)
__
d) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is negative, the vertex of the parabola is below the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, both branches will cross the x-axis, resulting in two real zeros.
