Question

7.

For which discriminant is the graph possible?



A. b2 – 4ac = 0


B. b2 – 4ac = –1


C. b2 – 4ac = 4

Answer 1

C. b2 – 4ac = 4

Explanation:

Answer:

The graph is possible for

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The discriminant of a quadratic equation of the form

is equal to

If D=0 the quadratic equation has only one real solution

If D>0 the quadratic equation has two real solutions

If D<0 the quadratic equation has no real solution (complex solutions)

In this problem , looking at the graph, the quadratic equation has two real solutions (the solutions are the x-intercepts)

so

therefore

The graph is possible for
