Solve x2+4x+6=0 by graphing

Mathematics

klemol [59]3 years ago

Answer: x = -2±√2 i or no real roots. See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw the graph, you will notice that there are no common points or you can say that there are no x-intercepts.

This means that the equation doesn't have any real roots.

If there are 2 common points (2 x-intercepts) then there are 2 real roots (answers.)

If there is only one common point (vertex is on x-axis) then there is only 1 real root.

If there aren't any common points (no x-intercepts) then there are no real roots.

So first, I'm gonna convert the equation into function and convert the standard form to vertex form.

x^2+4x+6=0\\y=x^2+4x+6\\y=(x^2+4x+4)-4+6\\y=(x+2)^2+2

We notice that the vertex is at (-2,2), the graph doesn't have x-intercepts (Graph below)

So the answer is clearly complex.

If you solve this by solving the equation then it'll be.

x^2+4x+6=0\\x= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{16-24} }{2}\\x=\frac{-4+-\sqrt{-8} }{2}\\\\x=\frac{-4+-2\sqrt{2}i }{2}\\\\x={-2+-1\sqrt{2}i }\\\\

The answer is complex.

However, you can find the value of x easily by graphing. For example.

x^2+6x+5=0

Factor then you get

(x+5)(x+1)=0\\x=-5,-1

Or you can convert it to vertex form then graph.

y=x^2+6x+5

y=(x^2+6x+9)-9+5\\y=(x+3)^2-4

The vertex is at (-3,-4) then graph parabola (x-intercepts determine the roots of quadratic equation. For the graph, parabola intercepts x at (-5,0) and (-1,0) that means both -5 and -1 both are the value of x.

Note:

From the standard form, y=ax^2+bx+c The graph is called Parabola, and it's Quadratic Function.

a is how the graph is, for example. If a>0, the graph is supine parabola and if a<0 then the graph is inverted parabola.

|a| is determined if the graph is wide or narrow, the more the value of a is, the more narrow it will be. The less the value of a is, the more wide it will be.

b is what determined the change of graph (likely vertex). Without b, then it'd be ax^2+k which only move y-axis and not x-axis.

c is what determined the y-intercept and y-axis. If there is no b or the value of b is 0 then the vertex is at (0,c). If there is the value of b then c is only determined the y-intercept.

If two marbles are randomly selected from the bag without replacement, what is the probability that the first marble is blue?
joja [24]

Answer:1,0.5, or 0 it depends

Explanation:

The probability that one event occurred depends on the total of random event, being 1 the most of the probabilities

If the two marbles are blue the probability to select a marble blue is 1

If one of the marbles is blue and the other marble is of any color the probability to select the blue marbles is:

P=1 - 1/2=1/2

Being 1/2 or 0.5 the answer

If any of the marbles are blue then the probabilities are 0

The table below represents the displacement of a bird from its nest as a function of time: time (hours) x displacement from nest
zubka84 [21]
Answer: See each part below.

Part A: The y-intercept is the first value, or 12. That means that they bird is 12 miles from its nest when the time started.

Part B: The average rate of change is the slope. From 1 to 3 hours, the bird went from 20 to 36 or 16 miles. 16 miles in 2 hours is the same as 8 miles in 1 hour.

Part C: To find the extent of the domain, write and solve the following equation for 172 miles.
172 = 8x + 12
160 = 8x 
20 = x

The domain will go up to 20 hours.
