Find the x-intercepts of the polynomial:
y = (2x + 3)(x - 4)(x - 1)
To find the x-intercepts of the polynomial
y = (2x + 3)(x - 4)(x - 1),
we set y = 0 and solve for x:
(2x + 3)(x - 4)(x - 1) = 0.
We can set each factor equal to zero:
1.For the first factor:
2x + 3 = 0
2x = -3
2.For the second factor:
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
3.For the third factor:
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
Thus, the ( x )-intercepts are:
