Chapter 14: Q. 15 (page 889)

In Problems 13–32, use the accompanying graph of $y = f (x)$ .
Find the x-intercept(s), if any, of $f$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x-intercepts are -8,-5,-3.

Step by step solution

Step. 1 What is x-intercept?

x-intercept is the point at which the graph cuts the x-axis.

Step. 2 Analyzing from the graph.

As we can see from the graph that the graph is touching or cutting the x-axis at

$x = - 8, - 5, - 3, 4$ .

But here you have to be conscious because $x = 4$ is not in the domain of the function i.e., we have open interval at $x = 4$ .

So, we have only 3 x-intercepts which are $x = - 8, - 5, - 3 .$
