The graph of y = 4x2 - 4x – 1 is show Use the graph to find estimates for
the solutions of
i) 4x2 - 4x – 1 = 0

Here we have the equation:

y = 4*x^2 - 4*x - 1

And we should have the graph (you can see it below this answer)

Now we want to find the solutions of:

4*x^2 - 4*x - 1 = 0

These solutions will be the two values of x at which the graph of our function intersects the line y = 0, that is the x-axis.

Then we need to find the two values of x at which our graph intersects the x-axis.

In the graph, we can estimate the solutions as:

x = -0.2

x = 1.2

To find the exact solutions we can use the Bhaskara's equation, and we will find that the solutions are given by:

Then the two solutions are:

x = (4 + 5.66)/8 = 11.2075

x = (4 - 5.66)/8 = -0.2075

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.
