Question 10 • GA-Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections CR
Set the two expressions for y equal: x³ + 72 = 5x² + 18x. Rearranging and factoring gives (x − 3)(x − 6)(x + 4) = 0, so the intersections occur at x = −4, 3, and 6. Their y-values are 8, 99, and 288; in the calculator’s default viewing window, only the point with y = 8 is visible. The correct choice is A, 1.
