Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, the problem asks you to find the x-intercepts of the graph , where the axes are marked in one-unit intervals.
The x-intercepts are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, meaning the value of is zero at these points. From the graph, we can observe the x-values where .
Looking closely at the graph:
- The curve touches the x-axis at ,
- The curve touches the x-axis at ,
- The curve touches the x-axis at ,
- The curve touches the x-axis at .
Thus, the x-intercepts are .
The provided solution in the image confirms these intercepts. If you'd like further clarification or more details, let me know!

Here are some related questions to think about:
- What is the general definition of an x-intercept?
- How do you determine the x-intercepts of a polynomial function algebraically?
- Could there be more than one x-intercept in a real-world application?
- How do the x-intercepts help in understanding the behavior of the graph of a function?
- How would you find the y-intercept of the graph?
Tip: When working with graphs, always check both x- and y-intercepts to gain insights into the function's behavior.
