Refer to the attached image for the graph. The zeroes are 4 and (- 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Drawing the graph.
The given polynomial is
y = x² - x - 12
➜ y = (x - ½)² - ¼ - 12
➜ y = (x - ½)² - 49/4
➜ y + 49/4 = (x - ½)²
This is a parabola whose vertex is at (½, - 49/4). This is a concave up parabola.
Refer to the attached image.
- [ Note: you can draw the parabola by putting some x and find their respective y values, and then plot them to find the graph. ]
Also, y = x² - x - 12
➜ y = x² - 4x + 3x - 12
➜ y = x (x - 4) + 3 (x - 4)
➜ y = (x - 4) (x + 3)
This shows that the parabola intersects the x-axis at (4, 0) and (- 3, 0).
Finding the zeroes.
Given polynomial is
x² - x - 12
= x² - 4x + 3x - 12
= x (x - 4) + 3 (x -4)
= (x - 4) (x + 3)
So either x - 4 = 0 or, x + 3 = 0
➜ x = 4, x = - 3
Thus the zeroes are 4 and (- 3).
