Question 447037
Write a quadratic equation that has as solutions the given pair of numbers: -7/2 and 1/4.
:
x = {{{-7/2}}}
and
x = {{{1/4}}}
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?
