Answer: (5, 0) ; (6,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercept occurs when h(x) = 0
∴ let 0 = (x – 5)(x – 6) [using the knowledge that for the
produc to be 0, one of terms
must be zero]
⇒ x - 5 = 0 ; x - 6 = 0 [solve for x in each case]
⇒ x = 5 ; x = 6
∴ the points of the x-intercept are (5, 0) & (6, 0)
Check:
If we graph the line we can see whether the intercepts are truly (5, 0) and (6,0). As seen below in the Desmos graph, it is.
