Graph the function f(x)=2x^2−2x

. True or false: The x-intercepts of this graph are (0,0)and (1,0)

1 answer

To determine whether the x-intercepts of the function \( f(x) = 2x^2 - 2x \) are \( (0,0) \) and \( (1,0) \), we need to find the points where the function equals zero, i.e., we solve the equation:

\[ 2x^2 - 2x = 0 \]

We can factor this equation:

\[ 2x(x - 1) = 0 \]

Setting each factor equal to zero gives us:

  1. \( 2x = 0 \) which simplifies to \( x = 0 \)
  2. \( x - 1 = 0 \) which simplifies to \( x = 1 \)

Thus, the x-intercepts are:

\[ (0, 0) \quad \text{and} \quad (1, 0) \]

This means that the statement is true: the x-intercepts of the graph are indeed \( (0,0) \) and \( (1,0) \).
