Answer:

x = - 7, x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 7 and + 1 , since

7 × 1 = + 7 and 7 + 1 = + 8 , then

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

(x + 7)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

Alinara [238K]
The given quadratic describes a parabola that opens upward. Its one absolute extreme is a minimum that is found at x = -3/2. The value of the function there is
  (-3/2 +3)(-3/2) -1 = -13/4

The one relative extreme is a minimum at (-1.5, -3.25).

_____
For the parabola described by ax² +bx +c, the vertex (extreme) is found where
  x = -b/(2a)
Here, that is x=-3/(2·1) = -3/2.
