Question: Quadratic Function Models: Solving Quadratic Equations Factoring: f(x) = -0.5x squared +8x-24 = -0.5(x squared-16x +48) -0.5 (x-12) (x-4) =-0.5 (x-12) ( x-4) I don't

Quadratic Function Models: Solving Quadratic Equations

Factoring:

f(x) = -0.5x squared +8x-24

= -0.5(x squared-16x +48)

-0.5 (x-12) (x-4)

=-0.5 (x-12) ( x-4) I don't understand this part, Why does this equation become a 0?

x-12=0 x=12

x-4=0 x=4

X intercepts: ( 14,0) (12,0)
