Q) The graph of the polynomial – ax²+bx+c is shown below. Write the signs of ‘a’ and ‘b² – 4ac’. Ans: Clearly, f(x) = ax² + bx + c represent a parabola opening upwards. Therefore, a>0 Since, the parabola cuts the x-axis at two points, this means that the polynomial will have two real solutions. Hence, […]
