The points at which a quadratic equation intersects the x-axis are referred to as

There is a number of different things these are referred to as. The first of which is the zeroes of the equation. They are called the zeroes of the equation due to the fact that this is where the function (or y-value) is equal to 0.

It can also be referred to as the x-intercepts. This is because it is where the graph intercepts the x-axis.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
