Answer:
x-intercepts = 1,2, and 4, y-intercept = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 7x^2 - 14x - 8 in factored form is equal to (x-1)(x-2)(x-4).
Solving for x-intercepts:
- We are actually able to solve for all x-intercepts without the given factor. But since we are given one of the factors, our job becomes much easier.
- Using synthetic division, or long division, we factor out the x-intercept 4. Which leaves us with the polynomial x^2 - 3x + 2.
- From here we can separate the polynomial into two binomials.
- x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x-2). Giving us all 3 x-intercepts.
- Using Descartes' rules we can identify before even starting the problem how many real x-intercepts there are (Not needed for this problem).
Solving for y-intercept:
- The y-intercept is always the coefficient that does not have any assigned x-variables.
- The coefficient is -8, thus the y-intercept.
- If unsure of the y-intercept, you can always plug in x = 0. Solving for the y-intercept will give you the value of f(0).
- If there is no coefficient, the y-intercept is equal to zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
y = x² + 3x - 29 ------ (i)
y = 2x - 9 ---------------- (ii)
Now to solve this problem, we must determine the value of x and y;
Equate equations 1 and 2;
x² + 3x - 29 = 2x - 9
x² + 3x - 2x - 29 + 9 = 0
x² + x - 20 = 0
x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = 0
x(x + 5 ) - 4(x + 5) = 0
(x - 4) (x+ 5) = 0
x - 4 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
x = 4 or x = -5;
So; solve for y now;
y = 2x - 9
input x = 4 or x = -5;
y = 2(4) - 9 or y = 2(-5) - 9
y = -1 or y = -19
