Answer 1

A polynomial function can be written as (x - 2)(x - 3)(x + 5). What are the x-intercepts of the graph of this function?

(2, 0), (3, 0), (-5, 0)

(-2, 0), (-3, 0), (5, 0)

(2, 0), (3, 0), (5, 0)

(-2, 0), (-3, 0), (-5, 0)

Answer 2

i think is b

Answer 4

Close. It looks like a to me. 2-2 =0 for example.

Answer 5

what do you mean *-*

Answer 6

You need for each set of parentheses to be 0.

Answer 7

then what do i do

Answer 8

To find the x-intercepts.

Answer 9

Plug in 2 for the first x.

Answer 10

(2-2)=0

Answer 11

Since 2-2 equals zero, what ever the other 2 numbers turn out to be, 0 times anything is 0. So, the function is 0.

Answer 12

Where y is 0 is an x-intercept.

Answer 13

what do you mean?

Answer 14

y=(x-2)(x-3)(x+5)

Answer 15

That is the function.

Answer 16

yeah but then whats the answer i dont get it

Answer 17

The answer is the values that make each set of parentheses 0.

Answer 18

Or A
