Solve for the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = x + 5 – 2x2. 1. put the quadratic function in standard form. f(x) = –2x2 + x + 5 2. set the function equal to 0 to create a quadratic equation. –2x2 + x + 5 = 0 3. determine the values for a, b, and c. a = b = c = 4. analyze the discriminant. b2 – 4ac = the quadratic function will have .

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the quadratic function in standard form.

2. Set the function equal to 0 to create a quadratic equation

3. Determine the values for a, b, and c. a =2: b = -1:c = 5

4. Analyze the discriminant.

The quadratic function will have irrational real roots.

This is because discriminant is positive but not a perfect square

24
