For what values of p will the equation x^2 =p have 2 real number solutions

1 answer:

4 0

p must be positive. If p is negative, the equation has no real solutions. This is because any number to the power of 2 is always positive. Therefore, if p is positive, there are 2 real number solutions: sqrt(p) and -sqrt(p).

Hope this helps,

Graph g(x)=2+|x| and it’s parent functions

matrenka [14]

The parent function is ...

... f(x) = |x|

This is the absolute value function, equal x when x ≥ 0, and equal to -x when x < 0. Its graph has the shape of a V with the vertex at the origin and "legs" of slope ±1.

The function g(x) is the same function with 2 added. The addition of 2 moves every value of f(x) up 2 units, so translates the whole graph upward by 2 units.
