Question

Determine the x-intercepts of the following equation.
(x+5) (x+3)=y

Answer 1

(-3,0) and (-5,0)

Explanation:

To find the x-ints we have to first solve for when x will be zero. This will give us the points we need. We can apply the zero product property on this, and get

(x+5) = 0

x = -5

so one root is -5

(x+3) = 0

x= -3

so the next is -3

we can write this in a way as a coordinate:

Answer 2

-5 and -3

Explanation:

To find the x-intercepts of the equation, we need to set y to zero and solve for x:

x + 5 = 0 and x + 3 = 0

x = -5 or x = -3
