Determine the x-intercepts of the parabola whose graph is given below. Write your answer as ordered pairs separated by a comma, if necessary. For example, if you found that the solutions were (1,2) and (3,4), you would enter (1,2),(3,4).

Provide your answer below:

Do you know what an x intercept is

@turbid bobcat

[turbid bobcat]

no?

[brave cradle]

Its when the function intercepts the x axis

Or passes through/touches

Do you know which axis is the x axis?

[turbid bobcat]

man

i just hate

the homework

[brave cradle]

It'll be done quickly, dont worry

[turbid bobcat]

man i honestly

[brave cradle]

So the horizontal one

Is the x axis

And we wanna find points where the green line touches the red line

[turbid bobcat]

brother eph

how i can find the answers

[brave cradle]

Sister mddo

[turbid bobcat]

for the homework

easy

[brave cradle]

Listen to me and you will find it

[turbid bobcat]

im brother

not sister

[brave cradle]

And i am sister

Not brother

[turbid bobcat]

ok

haha

[brave cradle]

So in how many places do the red and green line touch

[turbid bobcat]

two

[brave cradle]

So we will have 2 points

2 x intercepts

These two

Now we read their coordinates. Lets start with the left one first

The x value we read on the x axis. And we see it's -6

The y value we read on the y axis (the vertical one). And we can see it's 0

So the first point is (-6,0)

You tell me what the second point is

@turbid bobcat

[turbid bobcat]

0,5

[brave cradle]

Almost

You just wrote them backwards

x always goes first, then y

[turbid bobcat]

thanks so much

god bless you

[brave cradle]

So final answer is?

Np hope you learned something

Just write it in the form they ask

[turbid bobcat]

i did
