(a)
Find whether
(a)
Answer to Problem 37WE
Negative.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The graph is :
Calculation:
Since the given graph does not intersect the x -axis , so , it has no zeroes.
If
If
If
Since the graph has no root , hence,
(b)
Find whether c is positive, negative or zero by observing the given graph.
(b)
Answer to Problem 37WE
Positive.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The graph is :
A parabola represented by the equation
Calculation:
In the equation
From the graph , it is clear that the y -intercept is positive.
So, c is positive.
(c)
Find whether a is positive, negative or zero by observing the given graph.
(c)
Answer to Problem 37WE
Positive.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The graph is :
A parabola represented by the equation
Calculation:
In the equation
If a > 0 , the parabola opens upward.
If a < 0 , the parabola opens downward.
Since the parabola in the given graph opens upward , so , a is positive.
(d)
Find whether b is positive, negative or zero by observing the given graph.
(d)
Answer to Problem 37WE
b = 0
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The graph is :
A parabola represented by the equation
Calculation:
In the equation
Since , from the graph , it is clear that the axis of symmetry lies on the y -axis , we have
So, b is zero.
