To find the x-intercept of the equation
, set
to 0 and solve for
. So, the equation becomes
. Factoring gives us
. This means
or
. Thus, the x-intercepts are
and
.
Now, for a fun nugget of trivia: this quadratic function actually represents the shape of a parabola! In this case, it opens upwards because the coefficient of
is positive. Imagine this parabola gracefully curving up, with its hands reaching down to touch the x-axis at those beautiful points (5,0) and (-1,0).
You can think of the x-intercepts as the “landing spots” where the graph touches the x-axis, and they mark the points where the output (y) is zero. These intercepts play a crucial role in graphing and analyzing polynomial functions, giving insight into the function’s behavior.
