Do you see where the equation crosses the x axis?

Re: Solving Quadratics by Factoring and Graphing
Just to check, which one is the x axis?

Re: Solving Quadratics by Factoring and Graphing
Yes, the horizontal one is the x axis.
You said -3 and -4. That would be on the left side of the y axis.
Then those are your two roots. That is how you solve by graphing.

Re: Solving Quadratics by Factoring and Graphing
so i should do it like this
y=ax^2+bx+c
isnt that what i have to find how can i find them

Re: Solving Quadratics by Factoring and Graphing
Hi zee-f;
y=ax^2+bx+c
That is the general form for a quadratic. You can not graph that one.

Re: Solving Quadratics by Factoring and Graphing
I think that your teacher just wants you to understand that by looking at a graph and not the equation that you can identify the roots as those points on the graph where the curve meets the x axis. In the case of the graph that you posted the roots are indeed -3 and -4 as you indicated. And you did that by just looking at the graph. (which is what questions 6-10 are supposed to reinforce for you)
