There is no way you could have studied how to find the x-intercept of
For only by a very advanced method the x-intercept is this irrational
number, which can only be written in exact form as:
which by graphing calculator comes out to be approximately -1.34025083.
However for your second equation
the x intercepts can be found very easily without a graphing calculator:
Multiply both sides by (x+3) and the denominator disappears:
Using the zero-factor principle:
x-2=0, x+2=0
x=2 x=-2
So you have given an impossible one (without very advanced techniques)
and a very easy one. :)
