X^2 + 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 5) = 0
x = 3 or x = -5
left-most x-intercept: (-5, 0)
right-most x-intercept: (3, 0)

we have

f(x)=x^{2} +2x-15

we know that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

in this problem

Find the roots of the function

equate the function to zero

x^{2} +2x-15=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

x^{2} +2x=15

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} +2x+1=15+1

x^{2} +2x+1=16

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1)^{2}=16

Square root both sides

(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{16}

(x+1)=(+/-)4

x=-1(+/-)4

x1=-1+4=3

x2=-1-4=-5

x^{2} +2x-15=(x-3)(x+5)

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the x-intercepts are the points (3,0) and (-5,0)
