    Investigating Quadratic Equations

    I'm thinking of two numbers. Their sum is 10 and their product is 21. What are the two numbers? The quadratic equation for this problem would be: x^2 - 10x + 21 = y. By graphing, we find that the x intercepts are at (7,0) and (3,0), meaning the solutions are 7 and 3. Please post attachment with a graph of the solution.

    Discriminants and Quadratic Equations

    The standard quadratic equation is given as: ax^2 + bx + c = 0 , where a, b, and c are real numbers and a > 0. The quadratic formula can be used to solve for all solutions of any quadratic equation. If a graph of the quadratic equation crosses the x axis, it has two real number solutions. We use the discriminant of b^2 - 4ac,

    Multiples of Quadratic Equations

    Two quadratic equations that are multiples of each other are actually the same equation, and that they don't count as being "more than one QE that have the same solution set". However, if you plot the two equations on a graph, will they be different from each other, but have the same x-axis intercepts, which are the answer set?
