<span>They are the values of 'x' that make the function zero.

If you graph the function, they are the values of 'x' where the graph

$the\ argument\ x\, for\ which\ the\ value\ y\ of\ the\ function\ is\ zero\\\\e.g.\\y=2x-6\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ the\ zeros\ of\ a\ function\ is\ x=3\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (y=2\cdot3-6=6-6=0)\\\\y=x^2+8x\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ the\ zeros\ of\ a\ function\ are\ x=0\ \ \ or\ \ \ x=-8\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (y_1=0^2+8\cdot0=0;\ y_2=(-8)^2+8\cdot(-8)=64-64)$

You have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks. imagine your school is 30 feet tall. your scale is

sveticcg [70]

Since your scale is 1ft:1.26cm, a 30-ft tall school would need to have a $30*1.26=37.8$ cm model. Dividing this by how tall each toothpick is, you'll get:

$\frac{37.8}{6.3} =6$

ANSWER: The model would be 6 toothpicks tall.

To find out how many cotton swabs you'll need, we just divide 37.8 by how tall each swab is:

$\frac{37.8}{7.7} =5$

ANSWER: The model would be 5 cotton swabs tall.
