Question

Question 1 1 pts If g and h are both positive numbers, which statement is true about the x-intercepts of the function f(x) = (x - g)(x - h). the function has no x-intercepts both x-intercepts are negative one x-intercept is negative and one x-intercept is positive both x-intercepts are positive

Answer 1

for the function

f(x) = (x -g)(x - h)

To get the x-intercept, we can equate the function to zero

f(x) = (x -g)(x - h) = 0

so (x - g) = 0

which gives x = g

And (x - h) = 0

which gives x = h

Since we have been told that g and h are positive, then it follows that both intercepts are positive
