0.8. So, the solutions are about  –0.8 and 3.
22.  NUMBER THEORY  Find two numbers that have a sum of 2 and a product of −15.
SOLUTION:  
From the given information, write two equations. Let x and y represent the numbers.
 
x + y = 2
x • y = –15
 
Solve the first equation for y.
 
 
Substitute this value for y into the second equation.

− 2x – 15.
Graph the related function f (x) = x
The x-intercepts of the graph appear to be at –3 and 5, so the solutions  for x are –3 and 5.
When x = 3, y = 2 – (–3) or 5. When x = 5, y = 2 – 5 or –3. The sum of –3 and 5 is 2 and the product of –3 and 5 is
–15.
Therefore the two numbers are –3 and 5.

23. f (x) = x
+ 8
SOLUTION:  
2
The graph of f (x) = x
+ c represents a translation up or down of the parent graph. Since c = 8, the translation is up.
So, the graph is shifted up 8 units from the parent function.
