5. In the following equation, identify the x-intercepts in the graph y = 3x2 + 19x – 40. I really need help with this question

OpenStudy (aravindg):

For x intercept put y=0 and solve for x

OpenStudy (aravindg):

For y intercept put x=0 and solve for y

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

to find the x-intercepts, well, let's look at some graph|dw:1379352823955:dw| keep in mind that, x-intercept is where the x-axis gets "intercepted" by the graph, or where the graph touches the x-axis now, what value does "y" have at that point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 I'm not quite sure

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

say for example, is a coordinate value the coordinate at that point, say x = 4 so the coordinate will be \(\large (4\quad, \quad \square?) \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4, 4)?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1379353100118:dw| y = 4 is way up there in the y-axis, so is not 4
