Answer:

Two times at (-1,0) and (2.5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the graph intersects or touches x-axis, y is equal to 0

so y = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

=> 0 = -2x^2 + 3x + 5

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a

so a = -2

b = 3

c = 5

substitute in the formula

x = [-3 +/- √(3^2 - 4x-2x5)]/2(-2)

x = [-3 +/- √(9 + 40)]/(-4)

x = [-3 +/- 7]/(-4)

x1 = (-3 + 7)/(-4) = 4/-4 = -1

x2 = (-3 - 7)/(-4) = -10/-4 = 5/2 = 2.5

so the graph has two x-intercepts (-1,0) and (2.5,0), therefore it intersects x-axis two times

Prove that the Greatest Integer Function f: R -> R given by f(x) = [x], is neither one-once nor onto, where [x] denotes the g

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

F: R → R is given by, f(x) = [x]
It is seen that f(1.2) = [1.2] = 1, f(1.9) = [1.9] = 1
So, f(1.2) = f(1.9), but 1.2 ≠ 1.9
f is not one-one

Now, consider 0.7 ε R
It is known that f(x) = [x] is always an integer. Thus, there does not exist any element x ε R such that f(x) = 0.7

So, f is not onto
Hence, the greatest integer function is neither one-one nor onto.

The answer was quite complicated but I hope it will help you.
