Examples with solutions for Zeros of a Fuction: Finding a stationary point

Exercise #1

The following function has been graphed below:

$f(x)=x^2-8x+16$

Calculate point C.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the exercise, first note that point C lies on the X-axis.

Therefore, to find it, we need to understand what is the X value when Y equals 0.

Let's set the equation equal to 0:

0=x²-8x+16

We'll use the preferred method (trinomial or quadratic formula) to find the X values, and we'll discover that

X=4

Answer

$(4,0)$
