Now try the example question below. Solve the quadratic equation \({x^2} - 6x + 8\) by completing the table below, plotting the points and drawing the parabola then reading off the roots from the ...
Therefore the coordinates of the turning point are (-1, 2). If we recall the general equation: \(y = a{x^2} + bx + c\) then if: a > 0, then the shape of the parabola is like a happy face and the ...
