Zinaida [17]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's use x2 - 3x - 28 as an example.

 

It's factors are (x - 7)(x + 4).

 

The roots are the x-values that make our expression equal 0. In order for x2 - 3x - 28 to equal 0, either of our factors need to equal 0, since 0 times anything is 0.

 

x2 - 3x - 28 = 0

(x - 7)(x + 4) = 0

 

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

(7 - 7)(7 + 4) = 0(11) = 0

 

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

(-4 - 7)(-4 + 4) = -11(0) = 0

 

That gives us two points on our graph, (7,0) and (-4,0). Where are those? On the x-axis! Thus, there are our x-intercepts.

 

By the way, for the future, along the x-axis, y = 0, so if you are asked for the x-intercepts (or roots), set y = 0 and solve for x.

 

Along the y-axis, x = 0, so if you are asked for the y-intercepts, set x = 0 and solve for y.

 

y = 02 - 3(0) - 28

y = -28

 

So, the y-intercept(s) of our same equation is y = -28, or (0,-28).

 

Boom.

Three times a number minus thirty-two
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

3n−32=7n+28

n=-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3n−32=7n+28

Step 1: Subtract 7n from both sides.

3n−32−7n=7n+28−7n

−4n−32=28

Step 2: Add 32 to both sides.

−4n−32+32=28+32

−4n=60

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4n/−4=60/−4

n=−15
