are -5 and 8.
QUADRATIC equation:
Examples:
1.
What are the coordinates of the turning point of the parabola whose equation is
2
y = x
– 4x + 4?
(1) (2, 0)
(2) (–2, 16)
(3) (2, –4)
(4) (–2, 0)
2.
What are the zeros of the parabola on the grid?
Write an equation for this graph.
3.
If the roots of a quadratic equation are –2 and 3, the equation can be written as:
1) (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0
3) (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0
2) (x + 2)(x - 3) = 0
4) (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
