Question 10 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What is the x-intercept of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 − 16x + 64?

Answer
A
(−8, 0)
B
(0, 8)
C
(8, 0)
D
(0, −8)

Explanation

The x-intercept occurs where f(x) = 0. Factor the expression: x² − 16x + 64 = (x − 8)², so it equals zero when x = 8. The point is (8, 0), which is choice C.
