Answer:

x = - 2, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

x² - 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

How many solutions does this equation have?

kozerog [31]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: infinite solutions

Discussion: I did a double take on this one but the left hand is

a + 3 + 2a = 3a +3

and the right hand side is

-1 + 3a + 4 = 3a + (4-1) = 3a + 3

The left and right sides of the equation are identical for all "a", i.e. for infinitely many "a" values.

Regards, MrB.
