To find the common roots between two functions, we need to find the roots (or solutions) of each function individually and then identify the shared solutions.
For the function f(x) = x^2 + x - 6, we can find the roots by setting the function equal to zero and solving for x:
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
To factorize this quadratic equation, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -6 and add up to 1 (the coefficient of x). The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 3 and -2:
(x + 3)(x - 2) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero:
x + 3 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
Solving for x in each equation:
x = -3 or x = 2
Therefore, the function f(x) = x^2 + x - 6 has two roots: x = -3 and x = 2.
To find the common roots between this function and another function, we would need to know the second function. If you provide the second function, I can help determine if there are any shared roots.
