question 213

Multiple Choice

Find the zeros of the quadratic function by completing the square. List the x-intercepts of the graph of the function.

• A) \(x = - \frac { 1 } { 16 } , x = - \frac { 13 } { 16 }\)
• B) \(x = - \frac { 13 } { 8 } , x = \frac { 13 } { 8 }\)
• C) \(x = \frac { 1 } { 4 } , x = \frac { 13 } { 4 }\)
• D) \(x = - \frac { 1 } { 4 } , x = - \frac { 13 } { 4 }\)
