Which equation could be solved using the graph above?
X^2+4x+3=0
X^2-4x+3=0
X^2-6x+9=0
X^2-1=0

Answer:
X²+4x+3=0
Step-by-step explanation:
y = X² + 4x + 3
y = 0
Solution:
x = -3, x² = -1
Steps:
X² + 4x + 3 = 0
write 4x as a sum
X²+ 3x + x + 3 = 0
Factor out x from expression
X (x + 3) + x + 3 = 0
Factor out x + 3 from expression
(x + 3) x (x + 1) = 0
When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0
x + 3 = 0
x + 1 = 0
solve for x
x = -3
x + 1 = 0
solve for x
x = -3
x = -1
The final solutions are
X = -3, X² = -1
Answer:
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of a parabola is
[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]
where, (h,k) is vertex and a is a constant.
The vertex of the parabola is (-2,-1).
Substitute h=-2 and k=-1 in the above equation.
[tex]y=a(x-(-2))^2+(-1)[/tex]
[tex]y=a(x+2)^2-1[/tex] .... (1)
The parabola passes through the point (0,3). So, it must be satisfy by the point (0,3).
[tex]3=a(0+2)^2-1[/tex]
[tex]3+1=4a[/tex]
[tex]a=1[/tex]
Substiturte a=1 in equation (1).
[tex]y=1(x+2)^2-1[/tex]
On simplification we get
[tex]y=x^2+4x+4-1[/tex]
[tex]y=x^2+4x+3[/tex]
It means the equation [tex]x^2+4x+3=0[/tex] could be solved using the given graph.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
