You can use a tangent:
We have opposite = 17 and adjacent = x.
substitute:
cross multiply
multiply both sides by √3
divide both sides by 3
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other method.
triangle.
The sides are in the ratio
Therefore
Y intercept occurs when x = o so it is -2(0-3) + 4 = -2
x intercepts:-
-2(x - 3)^2 + 4 = 0
(x - 3)^2 = -4/-2 = 2
x - 3 = +/- sqrt2
x = 3 + sqrt2 and 3- sqrt2
