A planetary body moves along a path modeled by the function f(x) = x² + 3x - 18. This path is laid over a coordinate gri so that astronomers can identify when the planet will come in contact with another path represented by the x-axis. At what point(s) will the paths cross? O (0,3), (0,-6) O (3,0), (-6,0) O The path of the planetary body does not cross the path of the x-axis. O (3,-6), (6,-3)

Question
A planetary body moves along a path modeled by the function \( f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 18 \). This path is laid over a coordinate grid so that astronomers can identify when the planet will come in contact with another path represented by the x-axis. At what point(s) will the paths cross? - (0, 3), (0, -6) - (3, 0), (-6, 0) - The path of the planetary body does not cross the path of the x-axis. - (3, -6), (-6, -3)

Expert Solution
Step 1: Define the problem

Given that a planetary body moves along a path modeled by the function f open parentheses x close parentheses equals x squared plus 3 x minus 18

This path is laid over a coordinate grid so that astronomers can identify when the planet will come in contact with another path represented by the x-axis.
