Example Question #34 : Finding Roots
Find the roots of the given quadratic.
The roots of a quadratic can be found by factoring. Factoring the solution will give you an expression that when multiplying will result in the initial quadratic.
The roots for this expression are . Similarly the roots of a quadratic can be found using the quadratic quadratic formula where the parent function of a quadratic is represented as and the quadratic formula is .
Example Question #33 : Solving Quadratic Equations
What are the roots of the following graph?
None of the above
Roots when looking at a graph are simply the x-values of where the function crosses the x-axis.
Which, when looking at this graph, it is clearly
and
Example Question #34 : Solving Quadratic Equations
Solve the equation.
To solve this equation perform the oppisite operation to isolate the variable.
Recall that the square root of a negative number results in an imaginary number.
Therefore,
.

Example Question #34 : Solving Quadratic Equations
What are the x-intercepts for
The x-intercepts of a quadratic equation are also the solutions. To find them, factor the quadratic equation. After some trial and error, it can be factored to: . Set those expressions equal to to get you x-intercepts. Your answers are: .
Example Question #35 : Solving Quadratic Equations
Find all solutions to the following quadratic equation:
Find all solutions to the following quadratic equation:
We can solve the following equation by first bringing the -225 to the other side:
Next, take the square root of both sides.
Now, you may be tempted to write your answer as just
But, we need to remeber the following is also true
So our answer choice must include both positive and negative 15
Example Question #191 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
What are the solutions of
To find the roots, or solutions, of the equation, factor the quadratic. It factors to . Then, set each expression equal to 0 to get your roots of 1 and 4.
Example Question #192 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
What is the x-intercept of ?
An x-intercept is the same thing as a root or solution. Therefore, we can set the function equal to 0 and solve for x. .
Example Question #193 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
Find the roots of the equation shown below:
The first step in finding the root is to factor the polynomial. The common factor in each term is , so extract that from the equation first. . Continue to find the numbers that will multiply to , and add to . If there is no number in front of the variable, it means there is just one of them!
The factors of . One of the terms will need to be negative, and in this case it will be the larger number in order to equal . The numbers that work are . The factored polynomial would be . There are three roots for this problem. The first will be 0, because if the is multiplied by , then it will equal 0. The other numbers to fulfill the equation would be . Therefore, the roots are .
Example Question #193 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
What are the roots of the following equation?
Roots are the values of "x" where your function equals 0. You need to set both equations equal to 0 and then solve for "x." Upon doing so you get:
