A) To factor a quadratic equation, standard form is the better form to use because it is easier to pull out a common factor from.
b) To graph a parabola, it is better to use vertex form so that you will know what point to graph as the vertex of the parabola.
c) To identify the vertex, maximum and minimum, it is better to use vertex form because the vertex form will give the values of the coordinates for the vertex. Then, you can use the equation to find the mininmum or maximum. If the graph is negative, it will have a maximum because it points downward infinitely. If the equation is positive, the graph will have a minimum because the graph points upward infinitely.
d) Standard form is easier to use when trying to solve using the quadratic formula because it is easier to see what the coeffiecnts and constants are to plug in for a b and c.
The first one is similar to the triangle
Answer:
0.286
Step-by-step explanation:
12/7 x 1/6
So you have x^3 - 4x = 0. What you can do is pull out an x from both x^3 and - 4x so it looks like this:

Then you can find a number that makes the part inside the parentheses turn into zero. For beginners, it may be easier to write it out seperately and solve for x.

We need to solve for x, so the first step is to add 4 to both sides, so we get something like this:

Then, we can square root both sides to get rid of the power on the x, so it looks like this:

Now, every square root has two answers, a positive and a negative. If we look at the bottom example:


We can see that both -2 and 2 to the power of two will equal to 4.
So finally, we get:

These are the other 'Zero's for the original function. If you are not sure of what a 'Zero' is, it is where the function crosses over the x-axis on a graph.
