Describe how many zeros this equation will have, and where they are. (1 Point)
f (x) = -2x2 – 5x – 2

Let y=x

2

−5x+6, when we substitute different values of x in the equation y=x

2

−5x+6 then value of y changes accordingly.

When x=0 then

y=(0)

2

−(5×0)+6=0−0+6=6

The point is (0,6)

When x=2 then

y=(2)

2

−(5×2)+6=4−10+6=10−10=0

The point is (2,0)

When x=3 then

y=(3)

2

−(5×3)+6=9−15+6=15−15=0

The point is (3,0)

Therefore, the coordinates are (0,6), (2,0) and (3,0) and the graph of the quadratic equation y=x

2

−5x+6 is as shown above.

Hence, from above graph, we get that x=2 or x=3.

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
