Question

Help please with this question

Let f(x)=x^2-6x-27. enter the x-intercepts of the quadratic function in the boxes.

Answer 1

Explanation:

0 = x² - 6x - 27

a = 1, b = -6, c = -27 Factor using AC method.

ac = (1)(-27) = -27

Factors of -27 that add up to -6 are -9 and 3.

Therefore:

0 = (x - 9) (x + 3)

x = -3, x = 9

The x-intercepts are (-3, 0) and (9, 0).
