Find the x-intercept of each function.
1. f(x) = –3x + 9 3 2. f(x) = 6x + 4
5. x2 – 49 (x – 7)(x + 7)
Objectives
Solve quadratic equations by graphing
or factoring.
Determine a quadratic function from its
roots.
Vocabulary
zero of a function
root of an equation
binomial
trinomial
Helpful Hint
Recall that for the graph of a quadratic function,
any pair of points with the same y-value are
symmetric about the axis of symmetry.
