Q. f(x)=(x+6)2−49At what values of x does the graph of the function intersect the x-axis?Choose 1 answer:(A) x=1,x=13(B) x=−1,x=−13(C) x=1,x=−13(D) f(x) does not intersect the x-axis.
Set f(x) to zero: To find the x-intercepts of the function, we need to set f(x) to zero and solve for x.f(x)=(x+6)2−49=0
Factor and solve: Now we solve the equation (x+6)2−49=0 by factoring it as a difference of squares.(x+6+7)(x+6−7)=0(x+13)(x−1)=0
Solve for x: We have two factors, so we set each factor equal to zero and solve for x.x+13=0 or x−1=0
