The graph represents the relation y = xo2 – 3x – 3. Find the value of x for which x2 – 3x = 7
-
-1.55, 4.44
- 1.55, -4.55
- -1.55, -4.55
- 1.55, 4.55
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
x2 - 3x = 7x2 - 3x - 7 = 0
What can you add to both sides of the equation to give the same value of y = x2 - 3x - 3
The number is 4
x2 - 3x - 7 + 4 = 4
x2 - 3x - 3 = 4
but y = x2 - 3x - 3
y = 4; So are y = 4 draw a line parallel to x axis, to cut or intersect the graph. At these points look down to see the corresponding values on x axis
This give -1.55 and 4.55
