The following function has been graphed below:
Calculate points A and B.
The following function has been graphed below:
Calculate points A and B.
To solve for the points A and B, where the graph of intersects the x-axis, let's solve the equation :
1. Write the equation in standard form:
.
2. Factor the quadratic equation:
.
3. Set each factor equal to zero:
or .
4. Solve each equation for :
and .
Thus, the points where the function intersects the x-axis, also the points A and B, are and .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
