Determine x-Values for the Quadratic: y = 3/4x² < 0

Question

Given the function:

y=34x2 y=\frac{3}{4}x^2

Determine for which values of x f\left(x\right) < 0 holds

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll consider the given quadratic function y=34x2 y = \frac{3}{4}x^2 and analyze when it could be negative.

Let's break this down:

  • The expression x2 x^2 represents the square of x x , which is always non-negative for any real number x x .
  • Since the coefficient of x2 x^2 , which is 34\frac{3}{4}, is positive, multiplying x2 x^2 by this constant results in a non-negative value.

Combining these observations:

  • Since x20 x^2 \geq 0 for all x x , it follows that 34x20\frac{3}{4}x^2 \geq 0 for all x x .
  • Thus, the function y=34x2 y = \frac{3}{4}x^2 will always be non-negative, meaning it can never be less than zero.

Therefore, there are no values of x x for which f(x)<0 f(x) < 0 .

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is that there are No x x for which the expression is negative.

Answer

x0 x\ne0
