Question

the inverse of a number is taking its the roots of the quadratic equation are the the roots of the parabola are the of the graph of the curve :: solutions :: root :: square :: squaring :: x - intercepts

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: The term paired with "inverse" for a number here refers to the inverse operation of squaring, so "square" fits.
2. For the second set of blanks: The inverse of squaring a number is taking its square root, so "square root" fills these two.
3. For the third blank: The roots of a quadratic equation are the values that satisfy the equation, which are called solutions.
4. For the fourth blank: The roots of a parabola correspond to where the graph crosses the x-axis, which are x-intercepts.

Answer:

1. The inverse of square a number is taking its square root
2. The roots of the quadratic equation are the solutions
3. The roots of the parabola are the x-intercepts of the graph of the curve
