Flashcards: Identify Zeros, Factor and Graph Polynomials: CCSS.Math.Content.HSA-APR.B.3

What are the -intercept(s) of the function?

y=x^2-x-6

Your answer:

$\text{x-intercepts: }2, -3$

Your answer:

$\text{x-intercepts:}-2, -3$

Your answer:

$\text{x-intercepts: }2, 3$

Your answer:

$\text{x-intercepts:}-1, 6$

Correct answer:

$\text{x-intercepts:}-2, 3$

Explanation:

To find the -intercept of a function, first recall that the -intercept represents the points where the graph of the function crosses the -axis. In other words where the function has a value equal to zero.

One technique that can be used is factorization. In general form,

$y=x^2+bx+c\rightarrow(x+c_1)(x+c_2)$

where,

c_1 and c_2 are factors of and when added together results in .

For the given function,

y=x^2-x-6

the coefficients are,

$\\b=-1 \\c=-6$

therefore the factors of that have a sum of are,

y=(x-3)(x+2)

Now find the -intercepts of the function by setting each binomial equal to zero and solving for .

$\\x-3=0\rightarrow x=3 \\x+2=0\rightarrow x=-2$

To verify, graph the function.

The graph crosses the -axis at -2 and 3, thus verifying the results found by factorization.

Correct answer:

$\text{x-intercepts: }3,4$

Explanation:

$y=x^2+bx+c\rightarrow(x+c_1)(x+c_2)$

where,

c_1 and c_2 are factors of and when added together results in .

For the given function,

y=x^2-7x+12

the coefficients are,

$\\b=-7 \\c=12$

therefore the factors of that have a sum of are,

y=(x-3)(x-4)

Now find the -intercepts of the function by setting each binomial equal to zero and solving for .

$\\x-3=0\rightarrow x=3 \\x-4=0\rightarrow x=4$

To verify, graph the function.
