ANSWER
1. k=13
2. x=-10
EXPLANATION
The given function is
To find f(x+5), plug in (x+5) wherever you see x.
This implies that:
Expand:
Simplify to obtain
We now compare with,
This implies that:
To find the smallest zero of f(x+5), we equate the function to zero and solve for x.
The smallest zero is -10.
For this case we have:
Note:<em> Milliliter is a unit of volume. It is not possible to convert distance units into volume units. </em>
We must convert the length 0.13 meters to millimeters.
By definition, 1 meter equals 1000 millimeters. That is to say:
Then, applying the rule of three we have:
1m ------------> 1000mm
0.13m --------> x
Where x represents the length of the marker in millimeters.
Resolving:
Thus, the marker measures 130 millimeters long
Answer:
130 millimeters
