SOLUTION: find the x intercepts y=x^2+x-6

Question 89798: find the x intercepts
y=x^2+x-6
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=x^2+x-6 [factor]
0=(x-2)(x+3) [set the equation equal to zero]
.
0=x-2 [set each factor equal to zero and solve for the x-term]
2=x
or
0=(x+3)
-3=x
.
So, x = 2 or x=-3 [the intercepts]
.
Check by plugging the values of (x) back into the orginal equation and solve.
