Question

if the figure shows the graph of f(x)= ax^2+bx+c, then

Answer 1

Hello user...

The explanation of the question asked is..

1. In a quadratic equation if the leading coefficient is greater than zero, then the graph of quadratic will be a upward opening parabola.
2. Now , from the figure it is known that the quadratic has real and distinct roots.
3. Therefore, disriminant must be greater than zero.

D= b^2 - 4ac.

D>0.

so c must be less than zero.

Hope it helps you
