Answer:  The distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform = 16.85 feet.

Explanation:

Length of platform = 40.75 feet

Length of bench  = 7.05 feet

Let the distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform be x

So, it becomes x+7.05+x = 40.75

⇒2x+7.05= 40.75

⇒2x = 40.75- 7.05

⇒x = 33.7

⇒x=\frac{33.7}{2}

⇒x= 16.85 feet .

So, the distance from each side of the bench to the edges of the platform = 16.85 feet.

Explain how to determine the zeros of f(x)=(x+3)(x-1)(x-8)
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

x=-3,  x=1,  x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have to find the zero of an equation like (x+3) all you have to do is solve for x.

x+3=0           equal the equation to zero

x+3-3=0-3    cancel out 3

x=-3              answer


If you have to find the zero of an equation like f(x)=-2x^2 - 5x + 7 then you would have to factor the equation.

7*-2=-14   multiply

-7 & 2   find the two numbers that when multiplied =14 and when added = -5

(2x^2 + 2)  (-7x + 7)  replace -5 with -7 & 2

-2x (x - 1)   -7 (x - 1)   factor

(x - 1)   (-2x - 7)    rewrite

1st: x - 1 = 0

          x = 1 : Answer

2nd: -2x - 7= 0

        -2x - 7 + 7 = 0 + 7

        -2x = 7

        -2x / -2 = 7 / -2

          x = 7 / -2 : Answer
