Question 447037: Write a quadratic equation that has as solutions the given pair of numbers: -7/2 and 1/4. Please help, I don't have the slightest idea where to begin. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write a quadratic equation that has as solutions the given pair of numbers: -7/2 and 1/4.
:
x =
and
x =
Which come from the factors
(2x + 7) = 0
and
(4x - 1) = 0
:
FOIL: (2x+7)*(4x-1)
y = 8x^2 - 2x + 28x - 7
y = 8x^2 + 26x - 7; is the quadratic equation for these two solutions
:
Did that make some sense to you?
