What is the equation of the quadratic function represented by the graph?
- y = x2 + x - 2
- y = -x2 - x + 2
-
y = x2 - x - 2
- y = -x2 - x + 2
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
The required equation is y = x2 - x - 2i.e. B where the graph touches the graph touches the x-axis y = 0
x2 - x - 2 = 0 = (x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
Hence roots of the equation are -1 and 2 as shown in the graph
