Let f(x)=x2+6x−16 . Enter the x-intercepts of the quadratic function in the boxes. and

x = - 8, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + 6x - 16

To find the x- intercepts equate f(x) to zero, that is

x² + 6x - 16 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 8)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
