(x - 5)^2 =
(x - 5)(x - 5) =
x^2 - 5x - 5x + 25 =
x^2 - 10x + 25 <===
Solve for x in each set of parentheses by setting them to 0:
X -8 = 0
X = 8
X+9 = 0
X =-9
You have two x intercepts (8,0) and (-9,0)
You didn’t list any choices to pick from but it would be either if the ones above.
Answer:
x = -8/b
Step-by-step explanation:
2bx-bx= -8
bx = -8
Divide by b since b is nonzero
x = -8/b
The answer should be 1546.3 after its worked out.
