Question

X intercept f(x)=(x+4)^2

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x)=(x+4)², the x intercept occurs at f(x)  = 0, substituting f(x) = 0 into the given equation to get the value of x we have;

$0 = (x+4)^{2}$

Taking the square root of both sides

$\sqrt{(x+4})^{2} = \sqrt{0}\\ x+4 = 0$

Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation

$x+4-4 = 0-4\\x = -4$

Therefore the x intercept of the equation is -4
