Answer:
The x-coordinate of the x-intercept that is located to the left of the origin is equal to -1
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the function
[tex]f(x)=4x^3-12x^2-x+15[/tex]
we know that
The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of the function is equal to zero
using a graphing tool
The function has three x-intercepts
The x-intercepts are the points
(-1,0),(1.5,0) and (2,5,0)
see the attached figure
The x-intercept that is located to the left of the origin is the point (-1,0)
therefore
The x-coordinate of the x-intercept that is located to the left of the origin is equal to -1
