The zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x² + 16x - 9 are given as follows:

x = -4 + \sqrt{\frac{41}{2}}, x = -4 - \sqrt{\frac{41}{2}}

<h3>What is a quadratic function?</h3>

A quadratic function is given according to the following rule:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

The solutions are:

x_1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}

x_2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}

In which:

\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

In this problem, the equation is given by:

f(x) = 2x² + 16x - 9.

The coefficients are a = 2, b = 16, c = -9, hence:

\Delta = 16^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 328

Then:

x_1 = \frac{-16 + \sqrt{328}}{2(2)} = -4 + \sqrt{\frac{41}{2}}

x_2 = \frac{-16 - \sqrt{328}}{2(2)} = -4 - \sqrt{\frac{41}{2}}

Solve please!!<br> equation is in the directions!!
patriot [66]
14. The equation would be -16t^2+60t+7 To find the maximum point plug in values into the equation -b/2a to find the axis of symmetry, and plug that number in for t.
b=60, a=-16
-60/-32=t=1.875
-16(1.875)^2+60(1.875)+7=63.25
Maximum point: (1.875,63.25)
