Question

Find the x-intercepts and y-intercept of the following function.
f(x) = (x+9) (x +9) (x-8)

Answer 1

A little too late I got this question yesterday on an assignment and didn’t think to look on here

Answer 2

To find the x-intercepts, we set y = 0 and solve for x:

f(x) = (x+9) (x+9) (x-8) = 0

The solutions are x = -9 (double root) and x = 8.

To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0:

f(0) = (0+9) (0+9) (0-8) = -583.

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -583).
