Consider the following function.
f ( x) = x2 − 8x + 7
Find when
f ( x) = −5.
( Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. ) x =
Use part (a) to find two points that lie on the graph of the function. ( Order your answers from smallest to largest x.)
x , y intercepts
When f(x) = -5
-5 = x^2 - 8x + 7
0 = x^2 - 8x + 12
0 = (x-6)(x-2) so a value of x = 6 or 2 will result in f(x) = -5
Wellllll now you have two points (6, -5) and (2,-5)
