Question

Which of the following is an x-intercept of the function, f(x) = x^2 - 64 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. -8

Step-by-step explanation:

An x intercept is where the y value is zero.

We set the expression equal to zero and solve for x.

x^2 - 64 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 8) = 0

x + 8 = 0 or x - 8 = 0

x = 8 or x = 8

Answer: D. -8
