Question

One x-intercept for a parabola is at the point

(1,0). Use the factor method to find the other x-
intercept for the parabola defined by this
equation:
y=x2 - 7x + 6
Separate the values with a comma.

Answer 1

(6,0) is the answer.

Answer 2

(6, 0)

Explanation:

Since we are given x = 1 as a root, we simply divide x² - 7x + 6 by x - 1 or factor out x² - 7x + 6:

(x - 1)(x - 6) = 0

x - 6 = 0

x = 6
