x-intercept -> value of x when y = 0
so change all y to zero then solve for x..get the idea? :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep. just plug in a zero for y and solve for x....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
34?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
hmmm...
you let y = 0 right?
x+2 = -3 (0-2) 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yess

i guess you can solve from there?
hint: it's not 34 :DD
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+2 = -3 (0-2)^ 2
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
ohhh...okay then...try to solve from there :DD
hint: it's still not 34 :p hehe

you might want to recheck your solution..some sign problems maybe?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh oh yeah didnt square the 2 properly, i get -1 now
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
-1? still no...be careful in solving ^_^
remember...when you square a negative, the answer is positive. positive times negative is negative.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so, x+2=-3+4
x= .3+4-2
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
+?
on your problem it states 3(-2)^2..that's multiplication
