82. We have a "double-root" of x = -5
Whenever the graph just touches the x axis like this....the discriminant will be 0
83. Soutions = Roots.....they are x = 1 and x = 5
When the graph passes through the x axis like this....the discriminant is > 0
84. Note that the graph has no real zeroes
I believe the the function shown is y = (x - 1)^2 + 1
So...setting this to 0, we have that
(x - 1)^2 + 1 = 0
(x - 1)^2 = -1 take both roots
x - 1 = ±√-1
x - 1 = ±i
x = 1 ± i = the zeroes
When we have non-real roots.....the discriminant is < 0
Thanks, CPhill! This was really understandable and helpful for me.
