SOLUTION: hello can some one check this for me please? i have to find the x intercepts y=x^2+2x-3 y=0 o=(x+4)(x-2) x=-4 or x=2

Question 80807: hello can some one check this for me please?
i have to find the x intercepts
y=x^2+2x-3
y=0
o=(x+4)(x-2)
x=-4
or
x=2

find the x intercepts
y=x^2+2x-3
Let y=0:
x^2+2x-3=0
(x+3)(x-1)=0
x=-3 or x=1

Hint: You did not factor correctly. You can check your factoring
by using FOIL to see if you get the original polynomial when you
do the multiplication.

Hmmm...I get something different:
Solve for x:
Set y = 0 and solve for the x's.
Factor the trinomial.
Apply the zero products principle.
and/or
So...
and
A good way to verify this is to look at the graph of the original equation:

As you can see from the graph, the x-intercepts are:
x = -3 and x = 1
