Any number less than -3, so -3.5, -4, -5, -6, -6.35368, -7, etc.
First, let's factor the equation to make it easier to solve for the intercepts:
f(x) = x² + 12x + 32
f(x) = (x + 8)(x + 4)
To find the x-intercepts of a function, set the y value (f(x)) to 0:
0 = (x + 8)(x + 4)
x = -8, -4
Similarly, to find the y-intercept, set the x values to 0:
f(x) = (0 + 8)(0 + 4)
f(x) = (8)(4)
f(x) = 32
*Note that you can see 32 as the y-intercept in the parabola's original equation
Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;
