For a quadratic function, which characteristics of its graph is equivalent to the zero of the function? a) y-intercept b) maximu
m point c) minimum point d) x-intercept
1 answer:
Answer:
d) x-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of a function are the values of x that make y = 0.
Thus, they are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, that is, the x-intercepts.
a) is wrong. the y-intercept is simply the value of y when x = 0.
b) and c) are wrong. A quadratic can have only one maximum or one minimum; it can't have both. And they are not zeros except in the special case of y = ±ax².
The diagram below is the graph of y = x² + 3x - 46. It shows the zeros at x = -23 and x = 20. The minimum and the y-intercept are not zeros of the function.

Answer:
The correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided expression.
Where x is time in minutes.
We need to find the appropriate form of the expression that would reveal the time in minutes when the trough is empty.
When the trough is empty the whole expression becomes equal to 0.
Substitute the whole expression equal to 0 and solve for x that will gives us the required expression.
Now consider the provided option.
By comparison the required expression is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
Hence, the correct option is D) (5x − 2)(2x − 3).
