To solve this equation we need to use the quadratic formula. Graph the parabola using the points found in steps 1 3. This is a quadratic equation with a 1 b 2 and c 3.
This video explains how to determine a quadratic function given the x and y intercepts of the graphSite.
And then the y value is just 0 so that point is right over there. Lets set x equal to 0 so if we set x is equal to 0 we have negative 5 times 0 plus 4y is equal to 20. Here the expression b 2 4 a c is called the discriminant. So far so good.
