What are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function below? y = x^2 – 3x - 28

A. (-7,0) and (-4,0)
B. (7,0) and (-4,0)
C. (7,0) and (4,0)
D. (-7,0) and (4.0)

The x intercepts are (7,0) and (-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 – 3x - 28

Set y=0

0 = x^2 – 3x - 28

Factor.  What 2 numbers multiply to -28 and add to -3

-7*4 = -28

-7+4 = -3

0 = (x-7)(x+4)

Using the zero product property

0 = (x-7)      0 = x+4

x=7              x = -4

The x intercepts are (7,0) and (-4,0)

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
