Question

How does the zero product property help you find the x-intercept of y = x² - x - 12?

Answer 1

To find x intercept plug y = 0 into given equation
So we get \[x^2-x-12=0\]
Now use quadratic formula or AC method

Answer 2

Because if we can factor it into something like: \[
(x-a)(x-b) =0
\]Then if \(x-a=0\) the whole thing is zero. The same goes for \(x-b=0\).

Answer 3

Yes but before this we have to find out groups .....
