Question

Quadratic functions heeeeeellllppp

Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that quadratic functions are parabolas when graphed.  The solutions are where the parabola crosses the x-axis.

1.   The vertex of the parabola in f(x) is (0, 9) which is above the x-axis and the parabola opens up.  So the parabola does not cross the x-axis.  Therefore the solutions are imaginary.

2.  The vertex of the parabola in g(x) is (9, 0) which is on the x-axis and parabola opens up.  Therefore, there is a double solution.

3.  The vertex of the parabola in h(x) is (-1, -9) which is below the x-axis and the parabola opens up.  Therefore, there are two real solutions.

I know this is a long explanation, but that is a way of looking at the problem.
