The true statements are
- (b) The equation 2x + 7 = 0 can be used to find a zero of the function
- (d) The graph has a double root at x = -7/2
- (e) The graph intersects the y-axis at y = 49.
The function is given as:
[tex]y =4x^2 + 28x + 49[/tex]
Express 28x and 14x + 14x; so, we have:
[tex]y =4x^2 + 14x + 14x + 49[/tex]
Factorize
[tex]y =2x(2x + 7) + 7(2x + 7)[/tex]
Factor out 2x + 7
[tex]y =(2x + 7)(2x + 7)[/tex]
Express as a perfect square
[tex]y =(2x + 7)^2[/tex]
[tex]y =(2x + 7)^2[/tex] means that the graph of the equation has a double root.
It also means that, 2x + 7 = 0 can be used to determine the root/zero of the function.
Substitute 0 for x in [tex]y =(2x + 7)^2[/tex] to determine the y-intercept
[tex]y =(2(0) + 7)^2[/tex]
[tex]y =49[/tex]
This means that, the graph intersects with the y-axis at y = 49
Hence, the true statements are (b), (d) and (e)
