Answer:
14/12/2019 — However, we know that the line passes through two known points with x and y coordinates. ... The equation of a curve is y = x^2 + ax + b where a and b are integers. ... x2 (or second order polynomial) graphs are symmetrical about their turning point ... Therefore, we know that the line intercepts the x-axis at (-1,0) and (5,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = -4, b = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry, im a bit late but hoping to help others that need the answer.
when you complete the square for a quadratic, you r answer can come in the form (x+p)^2+q.
in this form, p is the opposite of the x coordinate.
and q is the same as the y coordinate.
to get p and q from this, we find the opposite of the x coordinate and use the y coordinate we are given, and plug them into this equation.
we get: (x-2)^2+1
lets complete the equation now.
(x-2)^2 = x^2 - 4x + 4, then add the one we left out = x^2 - 4x + 5.
now our equation is in the same format as y=x^2+ax+b so we can just pull out the A and B which gives us:
A = -4
B = 5
if i am wrong please feel free to correct me, ty.
