1. The equations y = x2 + 6x + 8 and y = (x + 2)(x+4) both define thesame quadratic function.Without graphing, identify the x-intercepts and y-intercept of the graph.Explain how you know

Respuesta :

Given the quadratic equation

[tex]y=x^2\text{ +6x + 8}[/tex]

(1) x-intercepts are -2 and -4 is the points that pass through the x-axis

when y = 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = 0 } \\ x^2\text{ + 6x + 8 = 0} \\ x^2+2x\text{ +4x +8 = 0} \\ (x\text{ + 2)(x +4)=0} \\ x\text{ +2 = 0 or x +4 =0} \\ x\text{ = -2 or x = -4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

(11) y-intercepts = 8 is the points that pass through the y axis when x = 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=x^2\text{ +6x +8} \\ \text{when x = 0} \\ y=0^2\text{ +6(0) +8} \\ \text{y = 8} \end{gathered}[/tex]
