Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
10x² + 3x -2 = -1
10x^2 + 3x - 1 = 0 Taking 10 out from the first 2 terms:-
10(x^2 + 0.3) - 1 = 0 Completing the square:
10[(x + 0.15)^2 - 0.15^2] - 1 = 0
10[(x + 0.15)^2 - 0.0225] - 1 = 0
10(x + 0.15)^2 - 0.225 - 1 = 0
10(x + 0.15)^2 - 1.225 = 0 is vertex form.
The vertex (turning point is at (-0.15, -1.225).
y- intercept is at the point where x = 0,
- that is at y = 10(0.15)^2 - 1.225 = -1
So at (0, -1).
Solving for x:
10(x + 0.15)^2 - 1.225 = 0
(x + 0.15)^2 = 0.1225
x + 0.15 = +/- sqrt 0.1225
x = -0.15 +/- sqrt 0.1225
The roots are -0.5, 0.2
