Factored form
The x-intercepts are at (r, 0) and (s, 0). To find the x-intercept you we would set the factors equal to zero. So it would be:
x– r = 0
x – s = 0
Then you solve the equation to isolate both the x’s.
The equation of a factored form looks like this:
Factors are numbers you multiply together to get another number
Example: 5 and 2 are factors of 10, because 5 × 2 = 10
6 and 4 are factors of 24 because 6 × 4 = 24
