Question 711524
{{{ y = ( x - 5 )*( x - 9 ) }}}
The x-intercepts occur where {{{ y = 0 }}}
There are 2 ways to make {{{ y = 0 }}}
in this equation:
(1)
Make {{{ x= 5 }}}
{{{ y = ( 5 - 5 )*( x - 9 ) }}}
{{{ y = 0 }}}
(2)
Make {{{ x = 9 }}}
{{{ y = ( x - 5 )*( 9 - 9 ) }}}
{{{ y = 0 }}}
---------
So the x-intercepts are at {{{ x = 5 }}} and {{{ x = 9  }}}
