CPM Homework Help : A2C Problem 9-39

If you were to graph the function $f \left(x\right) = \left(x − 74\right)^{2}\left(x + 29\right)$ , where would the graph intersect the $x$ -axis?

Hint:

Remember that wherever the graph intersects the x-axis, $f\left(x\right)$ will be zero. Use the Zero Product Property.

Answer:

The graph intersects the $x$ -axis at $\left(74, 0\right)$ and $\left(−29, 0\right)$ .
