Question

Select the correct answer
A parabola is represented by the equation y = x2 + 6x − 17.

The x-intercepts of the parabola are:
a. (-8.20,0)
b. (-8.10,0)
c. (-8.09,0)
d. (-8.07,0)
AND
a. (2.20,0)
b. (2.10,0)
c. (2.09,0)
d. (2.07,0)

The y-intercept of the parabola is
a. (0,-34)
b. (0,-17)
c. (0,-11)
d. (0,8.50)
(If necessary, round your answers to the nearest hundredth.)

Answer 1

the x-intercept when y = 0 set the function = 0 and factor to find the x-values
the y-intercept when x = 0 substitute x = 0 in the function and compute y
to the nearest hundredth means to 2 decimal places
