Answer:
8.5 potatoes per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
4(4x + 6) - 7 = 77 - 4x......distribute thru the parenthesis
16x + 24 - 7 = 77 - 4x ...simplify
16x + 17 = 77 - 4x ...addition property of equality....add 4x to both sides
16x + 4x + 17 = 77 ...subtraction property ...subtract 17 from both sides
16x + 4x = 77 - 17...combine like terms
20x = 60 ....division property....divide both sides by 20
x = 60/20
x = 3
When you want to find zeros of rational expression you need to find at which points numerator is equal to zero. In this case, we have the product of three expressions.

A product is equal to zero whenever one of the factors is equal to zero.
That means that zeros of our functions are:
1)

2)


3)


The final answer is a. Function has zeros at (0, 1, -11).
