Question

Which statement is correct about the function y = x2 – 2x – 143?

Answer 1

C is the correct answer. hope it helps. :)

Answer 2

Answer:

In factor $y=(x-13)(x+11)$ and The zeros are x=13 and x=-11

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $y=x^2-2x-143$

Factor the function,

$y=x^2-2x-143$

$y=(x^2-13x)+(11x-143)$

$y=x(x-13)+11(x-13)$

$y=(x-13)(x+11)$

Factor of the given function is (x-13)(x+11)

If we find the zeros of the function, we will set each factor to zero.

x-13 = 0     and     x+11=0

x=13,-11

The zeros of the function are 13 and -11

Hence, In factor $y=(x-13)(x+11)$ and The zeros are x=13 and x=-11
