For a. Find the discriminant:
=b^2-4ac
=p^2-8p
That's is as far as I have gotten, although I think that is right for a. correct me if I am wrong. So I just need to solve the others, although I have no idea how to do so...
I'm a little confused as to where to start as a matter of fact!:) I know the final objective is to reach the equation in standard form using the information provided, but I'm not sure how to do that (the processes involved). I was just hoping to get a step through of the processes required to...
Consider the quadratic equation x^2+px+2p=0
a. Find the discriminant.
b. Find the values of p for which there are 2 solutions.
c. Find the values of p for which there are no solutions.
d. Find the value of p for which there is 1 solution.
Please show working out! Thanks.
Hi all. I need a bit of help determining the equation of some parabolas given points, intercepts and vertexes. Below are the exacts questions, any help will be much appreciated as I need this done soon!
1. A parabola has turning point (1,6) and passes through the point (-1,8). Find its...
