Question

What are the x-intercepts of this quadratic function? g(x) = -2(x - 4)(x + 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

4 and -1

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is given to us and we need to find the x Intercepts of the given function . The function is ,

$\bf \implies g(x) = -2( x -4)(x+1)$

Step 1 : Equate the function with 0,

$\bf \implies -2( x -4)(x+1) = 0$

Step 2: Equating with 0 :-

Now equate each factors seperately with 0 , to get the x Intercepts.

Step 3: Finding the intercepts :-

$\bf \implies x - 4 = 0 \\\\\implies\boxed{\bf\blue{ x = 4 }}$

Again ,

$\bf \implies x + 1 = 0 \\\\\implies\boxed{ \blue{\bf x = -1}}$

Hence the x intercepts are 4 and -1 .
