Question

Find the x and y intercepts of
F(x)=-x^2-6x-5

Answer 1

x=-3,-2 y=-5

Explanation:

to find x intercepts, you set your y to equal 0 and vice versa, set x=0 to solve for y.

x intercepts

`0=-x^2-6x-5 \\ = - (x ^(2) + 6x + 5) \\ = (x + 3)(x + 2)`

you solve this part by doing PSN where you find two numbers that give you a product of 6 and a sum of 5

next part should be pretty explanatory just set your x's to 0 and you'll get -5 as your intercepts
