Answer to Problem 37E
2
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Function:
Calculation:
Factorization of given function is
To find x-intercepts, put
Hence, the x-intercepts are
Calculation for graph:
Consider
Values of x | Values of f (x) |
0 | 46 |
1 | 33 |
-1 | 61 |
2 | 22 |
-2 | 78 |
By taking different values of x, the graph can be plotted.
Graph:
Interpretation:
From graph, it is clear that, the number of x-intercepts is equal to 2.
The number of real zeros of the function is equal to 2.
So, the number of real zeros and number of x-intercepts are equal to each other.
