Graphs of functions on the interval [−4, 4] are depicted below. For each function, find: 1) The domain

2) Zeros of a function (the values of x where the function is zero)

3) Intervals where the function is positive and intervals where it is negative

a) The domain is the set of the possible values of x.

In the graph, we can see that x goes from - 4 to 4

So the domain is: D = x∈ {-4, 4)

b) The zeros are the points where the graph cuts the x-axis.

Those values are:

x = -2

x = 0

x = 2.

c) The graph is positive if it is above the x-axis and it is negative if it is below the x-axis.

in the interval {-4,0} the graph is bellow the x-axis, so in this interval the function is negative.

in the interval {0, 2} the graph is above the x-axis, so in this interval the function is positive.

in the interval {2, 4} the graph is bellow the x-axis, so in this interval the function is negative.

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
