Find the x intercept of f(x)=4x^2-20

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x int means y=0; this equals 0 when x = +-5 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how can we prove it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20 = 4x^2 5= x^2 x intercept is (square root of 5, 0)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

is there a place in the equation to fit an x = -5 to see if this makes it equal zero?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sqrt(5) yes lol... good call
