the graph of quadratic polnomial is always a
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of quadratic polynomial is always parabola
The parabola can be of two types
a) upward parabola
a) downward parabola
And there will be there cases in both a) and b)
1) Parabola above/below the x-axis
2) Parabola just touches x-axis
3) Parabola intersecting x-axis
If parabola which is above/below x-axis has imaginary roots
If the parabola which just touches x-axis will have just both roots to be real and equal
If the parabola cuts/intersects x-axis the it has both roots to be real and distinct
Let's evaluate more using General equation
a x²+b x + c = 0
For upward parabola a is +ve
For downward parabola a is -ve
Where c is Y-intecept
For imaginary roots, D < 0
For real and equal roots D = 0
For real and unequal roots D > 0
The uppermost part of downward parabola is given by (-b/2a , -D/4a)
The lower-most part of upward parabola is given by (-b/2a , -D/4a)
Where D = Discriminant
