Assuming the exponent is supposed to be "^2" your equation will read:
4x² + 8x - 5
It must set equal to y to be a valid function and the y must be set equal to zero to find x-intercepts.
4x² + 8x - 5 = 0
4x² - 2x + 10x - 5 = 0
2x(2x - 1) + 5(2x - 1) = 0
(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0
Set each binomial equal to zero.
2x + 5 = 0
2x = 0 - 5
2x = - 5
Divide both sides by 2
x = - 5/2
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 0 + 1
2x = 1
x = 1/2
Your x-intercepts are x = - 5/2, 1/2 or (- 5/2, 0) and (1/2, 0)
Answer: x = -4 or x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 3x - 28 =/>
(factor)
(x^2 + 4)(x-7) = 0
x + 4 = 0 or x - 7 = 0
(subtract -4 from 0 and 7 from 0)
x = -4 or x =7
