I have this equation: y = 2x^2 - 5x -3
I tried to find coordinates using the graph, then used a graphing calculator. (It's been a while since I used it, so I forgot how find the x-intercepts. Mine is an older version also, TI-89.)
When I used the quadratic formula, however, I got completely differnt answers.
$$x \approx -.56
x \approx 2.97$$(Using Graphing calculator)
$$x=6
x=4$$(Using quadratic formula)
What kind of mistakes may I have made along the way?
Thanks for the help!
I can't say.....but here's the graph showing the x-intercepts......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/0e87khj5uy
