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)

Eric's average income for the four months of the year 1450 point to $5 what must be his average income for the remaining eight m
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$2668.63

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average of 4 months is $5

Meaning the total sum for 4 months

4×5 =$20

If the average for the year was $1780.75​

It means the total sum for a year is;

$1780.75​×12 =$21369

This means the money received for the remaining 8 months is;

$21369-$20=$21349

Hence the average income for the remaining 8months is ;

The total amount for 8 months / 8;

$21349/8= $2668.625

$2668.63
