Question

The graph of y = -1/2x^2-1/2x + 6 is shown.

What are the solution(s) to -1/2x^2 -1/2x + 6 = 0?

A) no solution
B) x = -1/2
C) x = 4 and x = -3
D) x = -4 and x = 3

Answer 1

D) x=-4 and x=3

Explanation:

Answer 2

D) x=-4 and x=3

Explanation:

The solutions to a quadratic equation are the x-intercepts when drawn out on a graph. In this case, the parabola crosses over x=-4 and x=3, so therefore, D is the right answer.
