Question

Describe how you would determine the x-intercepts from the factored form of a quadratic equation

Answer 1

Please check explanations

Explanation:

Given the factored form, all we have to do is to equate each of the factor to zero, then solve for x

The particular value of x represents the solution that shows the value of the x-intercept

for example

In a case of a quadratic equation where we have

(x-a)(x-b) = 0

Then we can have

(x-a) = 0 or ((x-b) = 0

Then we have x = a or x = b

a and b are the x intercepts in this case
