Answer:
The solutions are x = -4 and x = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving a quadratic equation:
We have to find x for which [tex]y = 0[/tex].
In this question:
[tex]y = 16 - x^2[/tex]
So
[tex]16 - x^2 = 0[/tex]
[tex]x^2 = 16[/tex]
[tex]x = \pm \sqrt{16}[/tex]
[tex]x = \pm 4[/tex]
The solutions are x = -4 and x = 4.
