<span>The number of x-intercepts that appear on the graph of the function
</span>f(x)=(x-6)^2(x+2)^2 is two (2): x=6 (multiplicity 2) and x=-2 (multiplicity 2)
Solution
x-intercepts:
f(x)=0→(x-6)^2 (x+2)^2 =0
Using that: If a . b =0→a=0 or b=0; with a=(x-6)^2 and b=(x+2)^2
(x-6)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x-6)^2] = sqrt(0)→x-6=0
Adding 6 both sides of the equation:
x-6+6=0+6→x=6 Multiplicity 2
(x+2)^2=0
Solving for x. Square root both sides of the equation:
sqrt[ (x+2)^2] = sqrt(0)→x+2=0
Subtracting 2 both sides of the equation:
x+2-2=0-2→x=-2 Multiplicity 2
Answer:
y=2x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>A. Vertex: (1, -8); x-intercepts: -1 and 3</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex is the point of the parabola. Basically, the part where the parabola 'scoops' up.
So the point where it scoops up is (1, -18)
The x-intercepts are the points where the line or shape touches the x-axis. The x-axis is the lines that goes from left to right.
The places where it touches the x-axis is -1 and 3
Well, an easier way than to divide fractions is to multiply the fractions, but to do that, flip the numerator and denominator for the second fraction.
For example, it becomes: 7 48 2
-------- × -------- = --------- (top×top & bottom×bottom)
24 35 5
Answer is: 2/5
