Question

-X^2 + 5x + 24

The x-intercepts occur where x = ... and x =...

Please help! Also please don’t comment just for points it’s not funny and I need this so I can raise my score back up.

Answer 1

x = 8 and x = -3.

Explanation:

-x^2 + 5x + 24 = 0 at the x intercepts.

Divide thru by -1:

x^2 - 5x - 24 = 0

(x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

x - 8 = 0 , x + 3 = 0

x = 8 and x = -3.
