What are the x-intercepts for the graph of y= 3(x+1)(x-6) A. (1,0) & (-6,0) B. (0,-1) & (0,6) C. (-1,0) & (6,0) D. (0,1) & (0,-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay lol

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Replace y with 0 and solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!! :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (primeralph):

set y = 0, then solve the quad equation..without expanding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get 0= 3(x+1)(x-6) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you distribute the 3?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

no, ignore the 3. It will still divide out in your answer later. just set the product terms equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you put the 0 for x?

OpenStudy (primeralph):

@MertsJ, can you finish this? I got to go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it A?
