6 0

Answer:

The function has 2 zeros:

$x = -1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\\x = -1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a polynomial function, you can identify the grade of the function (the grade is the maximum potency) and this is the number of zeros that the function will have. In this case, you have a second-grade polynomial function that has 2 zeros.

That's a question about percentage.

One way to represent percentage is using decimal number. In this way, 1 is equivalent to 100% and the other less percentages using numbers between 0 and 1.

Examples:

90% is equivalent to 0,90.
5% is equivalent to 0.05. It's not 0.5 because 0.5 is equivalent to 50%.
13.17% is equivalent to 0.1317.
245% is equivalent to 2.45.

If we want to know the percentage of a number, we should multiplacate the number by the porcentage in the decimal number form.

Examples:

55.90% of 200 is equal to: $200 \times 0.5590 = 111.8$

360% of 88 is equal to: $88\times 3.6 = 316.8$

In our problem, we have a phone with a increase of 7%. To solve that, it's important to perceive that $230 is equal to 100% and with a increase of 7%, we will pay 107%.

107% in the decimal number form is 1.07. With that information, we should multiplicate 1.07 by the original value and we will find the answer.

We know that $230\times 1.07 = 246.1$ , therefore, the total cost of the phone after tax is $246.1.
