Answer:

x = -3 -√7, x = -3 +√7

Explanation:

You want the x-intercepts of f(x) = (x+3)² -7.

Zeros

The value of f(x) will be zero when ...

0 = (x +3)² -7

7 = (x +3)² . . . . . . . add 7

±√7 = x +3 . . . . . . square root

-3 ±√7 = x . . . . . . subtract 3

The graph will intersect the x-axis at x = -3-√7 and x = -3+√7.
