for x-intercepts?

Now what are going to do....?

Well, if REAL numbers wont give us an answer, its time for...

The Quadratic Formula can be used to solve any quadratic
equation. It can be used instead of factoring or square roots.

Use the quadratic formula to solve. Pay attention to the number

inside the radical and how it is related to the types (and number) of
solutions you get.

x 2 + 3x = 2

x2 + 4x = 5

Use the quadratic formula to solve. Pay attention to the number

inside the radical and how it is related to the types (and number) of
solutions you get.

initial height of 4 feet with an initial
vertical velocity of 40 ft/sec. If the juggler
catches the ball again at a height of 3 feet,
