First off, remember that finding the x-intercepts means setting y equal to zero and solving for the x-values, so this question is really asking you to "Solve 4x2 – 2x – 5 = 0".
Now, let's start the completing-the-square process. To begin, we have the original equation (or, if we had to solve first for "= 0", the "equals zero" form of the equation). In this case, we were asked for the x-intercepts of a quadratic function, which meant that we set the function equal to zero
Answer:
- D . x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
- (x² + 6x + 8) / (x + 2) =
- (x² + 2x + 4x + 8) / (x + 2) =
- (x + 2)(x + 4) / (x + 2) =
- x + 4
Correct choice is D
