Equations don't really have x intercepts, functions or curves do. They're also known as the zeros of the function. When we set a function equal to zero we get an equation to solve, and the zeros of the function become the solutions or roots of the equation.
If a quadratic equation only has one root, that's a repeated root corresponding to a discriminant of zero.
In this example our equation is something like , or expanded
The discriminant here is
Answer: About (-2.414, 0) and (0.414, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us graph the equation given and see what the x-intercepts are. These are points where the line intercepts the x-axis. <em>See attached</em>.
This means our x-intercepts are at about (-2.414, 0) and (0.414, 0).
These are also equal to and
