Question 104482: Good morning tutors,
I have a couple of questions. I have to solve and graph these equations and I was wondering if you could help me with these problems?
y = x^2 - 4x
and
y = 2x^2
Thank you very much. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve and graph these equations
:
y = x^2 - 4x
To solve for x:
x^2 - 4x = 0
x(x - 4) = 0
x = 0
x = +4
:
To Graph this:
Substitute for x, -2 to + 6:
x | y
------
-2 | 12
-1 | 5
0 | 0; x and y intercept
+1 | -3
+2 | -4
+3 | -3
+4 | 0; x intercept
+6 | 12
:
Graph should look like this:
:
y = 2x^2
:
Of course the solution to 2x^2 = 0 is 0
:
Plot this one from x = -2 to x = +2
x | y
-------
-2 | +8
-1 | +2
0 | 0
+1 | +2
+2 | +8
This graph will look like this:
