The graph of a polynomial f(x) = (2x - 3)(x - 4)(x + 3) has x-intercepts at 3 x values. What are
they?

Respuesta :

f(x) = (2x-3)(x-4)(x+3)
x-intercept, let f(x) = 0
0 = 2x-3
3 = 2x
x = 3/2

0 = x-4
x = 4

0 = x+3
x = -3
Therefore the 3 x-intercepts are (3/2,0) , (4,0) and (-3,0)

The x-intercepts of a function are the points where the function crosses the x-axis.

The x-intercepts are [tex]\mathbf{ \frac 32, 4, and -3 }[/tex]

The polynomial is given as:

[tex]f(x) = (2x - 3)(x -4)(x + 3)[/tex]

Equate the polynomial to 0

[tex](2x - 3)(x -4)(x + 3) = 0[/tex]

Split the polynomial

[tex]2x - 3 = 0[/tex]    or    [tex]x -4 = 0[/tex]    or    [tex]x + 3 = 0[/tex]

Solve for x in all cases

[tex]x = \frac 32[/tex]    or [tex]x = 4[/tex] or [tex]x=-3[/tex]

Hence, the x-intercepts are [tex]\mathbf{ \frac 32, 4, and -3 }[/tex]
