Question

What are the intercepts of the function?
The x-intercepts are
Consider the function f(x) = x2 + 12x + 11.
x-intercepts:
0= x2 + 12x + 11
0 = (x + 1)(x+ 11)
The y-intercept is
y-intercept
f(0) = (0)2 + 12(0) + 11

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

x² + 12x + 11 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 1)(x + 11) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 11 = 0 ⇒ x = - 11

The x- intercepts are x = - 11 and x = - 1

To find the y- intercept let x = 0, that is

f(0) = 0² + 12(0) + 11 = 0 + 0 + 11 = 11

The y- intercept is 11
