Question

Determine the solutions of the quadratic equation x squared minus 8 x plus 16 equals 0. by inspecting the graph. Give answers correct to 1 decimal place where appropriate.

  1. x = 0
  2. x = 1, x = 2
  3. x = 10
  4. x = 4

The correct answer is: x = 4


    The graph touches the x - axis at x = 4, so the solution is x = 4.
