Solve x2+4x+6=0 by graphing

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.

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable:
 x: total of pans of brownies.
 We now write the expression for the last pan of brownie.
 We have then:
 y = 400 / x - 32
 Answer:
 
an expression to find How many chocolate chips are in the last pan of brownies is:

HELP! DUE AT 5 PM!! 10 BRAINLIST!<br><br> 3x -15x - 30 &gt; 54
ryzh [129]

Answer:x<-7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -15x - 30 > 54

-12x-30>54

-12x<54+30    

I moved 30 from left side to right which becomes positive and > becomes <

-12x<84

-12x/-12<84/-12           I used my calculator to do this

x<-7

In triangle ΔABC, ∠C is a right angle and CD is the height to AB . Find the angles in ΔCBD and ΔCAD if: Chapter Reference a m∠A
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Given A triangle ABC in which

 ∠C =90°,∠A=20° and CD ⊥ AB.

In Δ ABC

⇒∠A + ∠B +∠C=180° [ Angle sum property of triangle]

⇒20° + ∠B + 90°=180°

⇒∠B+110° =180°

∠B =180° -110°

∠B = 70°

In Δ B DC

∠BDC =90°,∠B =70°,∠BC D=?

∠BDC +,∠B+∠BC D=180°[ angle sum property of triangle]

90° + 70°+∠BC D =180°

∠BC D=180°- 160°

∠BC D = 20°

In Δ AC D

∠A=20°, ∠ADC=90°,∠AC D=?

∠A +  ∠ADC +∠AC D=180° [angle sum property of triangle]

20°+90°+∠AC D=180°

110° +∠AC D=180°

∠AC D=180°-110°

∠AC D=70°

So solution are, ∠AC D=70°,∠ BC D=20°,∠DB C=70°
