The x-intercepts of this function are -11 and -1.

The easiest way to find the intercepts of this graph is by factoring. To factor a quadratic, we look for factors of the last number, that add up to the middle number. Below are the factors of the last number.

1 and 11

-1 and -11

Now we look for one that adds up to positive 12.

1 and 11

-1 and -11

Since these two add up to the middle number, we can use them in parenthesis with x + and factor. If there was not a pair, we would then have to use the quadratic equation.

f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 11)

Now to solve for the x-intercepts, we set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve for x.

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

x + 11 = 0

x = -11

Which exponential function is equivalent to the logarithmic equation below: log 784=a

Sedbober [7]

You have no exponential functions listed to choose from, but in this problem it is understood that the base of the log is 10 because it is not stated otherwise and a base of 10 is the "norm" for logs. So rewritten with that in mind, you have log base 10 (784)=a. In exponential form, that looks like this: 10^a=784. You could solve for a by typing in "log(784)" into your calculator to get that the exponent is equal to 2.894316063. If you raise 10 to that power you get 784.
