Let f(x)=0.

$(x-6)(2x+10)=0$

Using the zero-factor property, equate each factor to 0 and then solve for x.

$\begin{gathered} x-6=0 \\ x=6 \\ \\ 2x+10=0 \\ 2x=-10 \\ x=-\frac{10}{2} \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the zeros of the given function are 6 and -5.

The zeros are the x-coordinate where the graph touches the x-axis.

Thus, the x-coordinates of where the graph touches the x-axis are -5, and 6.

10.68 each for the 2 same length sides. The total of the 5 sides is 45.56 less the 3 sides which total 24.2 leaves 21.36 remaining for the 2 equal length sides. So divide 21.36 by 2 = 10.68
(45.56 - 24.2)/2 = 10.68

Answer:

I= 84

Step-by-step explanation:

for

$I=\int\limits^{}_{} \int\limits^{}_D {x*y} \, dA = \int\limits^{}_{} \int\limits^{}_D {x*y} \, dx*dy$

since D is the rectangle such that 0<x<3 , 0<y<3

$I=\int\limits^{}_{} \int\limits^{}_D {x*y} \, dA = \int\limits^{3}_{0} \int\limits^{3}_{0} {x*y} \, dx*dy = \int\limits^{3}_{0} {x} \, dx\int\limits^{3}_{0} {y} \, dy = x^{2} /2*y^{2} /2 = (3^{2} /2 - 0^{2} /2)* (3^{2} /2 - 0^{2} /2) = 3^{4} /4 = 81/4$
