Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we have that
[tex]f(x) = x^2 + x - 9[/tex]
Using a graph tool
see the attached figure
The function represent a vertical parabola that open up
the vertex is a minimum-------> is the point (-0.5, -9.3)
The x-intercepts are the points when the y coordinate is equal to zero
The x-intercepts are the points (-3.5, 0) and (2.5, 0)
so
the function cross the negative x-axis at point
therefore, the answer is
(-4, 0) and (-3, 0)
