A teacher writes the function f(x)=3x^2-18x+27 on the board. How many times does the graph of the teacher's function intersect t
1 answer:
Answer:
Once. at (3,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is handy to have a graphing calculator for this kind of question.
Otherwise work it out.
All the terms are multiples of 3, so simplify.
then factor (x -3)(x-3)
Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.
x - 3 = 0 x = 3
OH ! they are identical! So there is only One value for x that will produce an output of 0.
So it intersects (touches) only once.
