Afunction f(x) has x intercepts of -3 and -5. what is the constant term in the function?
f(x)=x^2+8x+

The constant term in the function is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

where

b is the y-intercept or the constant term of the function

Remember that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

For x=-3 ----> f(x)=0

For x=-5 ----> f(x)=0

substitute any of the intercepts in the function

For x=-3

Verify with the other intercept

For x=-5

---> is true

therefore

The constant term in the function is 5

5
