Reflections:
29. What are the possible numbers of solutions for a quadratic equation? How would you use the graph of a
quadratic function to explain those possibilities?
30. How can you tell how many solutions there will be for a quadratic equation by examining the quadratic
formula?
31. How would you use quadratic functions in the real world? (This will require some research.)
