Answer:
[tex]\fbox {x-intercepts : (1, 0) and (-3, 0)}[/tex]
[tex]\fbox {Roots : x = 1, x = -3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
4 cancels throughout.
Solving by quadratic formula :
- x = -8 ± √(8)² - 4(4)(-12) / 8
- x = -8 ± √64 + 192 / 8
- x = -8 ± √256 / 8
- x = -8 ± 16 / 8
- x = -1 ± 2
- x = 1 and x = -3
∴ Hence, the x-intercepts are (1, 0) and (-3, 0). The roots of the equation are 1 and -3.
