Exercise: 5.8 A. Form The Equation Whose Roots Are

This document provides examples of solving quadratic equations graphically. It begins by explaining the steps to graph a quadratic function such as y=x^2 and draw the line y=c to find the roots. Several examples are shown including finding the value of a for the equation y=ax^2 and solving equations by graphing two functions such as y=x^2 and y=b+cx. The last section provides 6 equations to solve graphically. The key steps are to make tables of the functions, plot the points, draw the curve and line, and find the x-intercepts to determine the roots. Graphing provides a visual way to solve quadratic equations.
