Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the $x$-intercepts of the quadratic function $f(x) = x^2 - 15x + 56$, we set $f(x) = 0$ and solve for $x$. Factoring the quadratic equation gives $(x - 8)(x - 7) = 0$, which has solutions $x = 8$ and $x = 7$. Therefore, the $x$-intercepts are $(8, 0)$ and $(7, 0)$.
