Answer and Explanation:
The solution(s) of a quadratic are the point(s) where the function outputs 0. In other words, a solution to a quadratic is where it touches the x-axis.
Using a TI-84 calculator, we can find the solution to any function using the zero command.
To access this command:
- press 2nd
- press trace (because its 2nd function is calc)
- press 2 (because zero is calculate command 2)
- select a left bound (a line that is to the left of the solution)
- select a right bound (a line that is to the right of the solution)
- press enter
