What are the zeros of the polynomial function? F(x)= x^2 +12x

Mathematics

Pavel [41]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 0 and x = -12 are the two zeroes

Step-by-step explanation:

"Zeroes" of a function are also called the solutions, roots or x intercepts.

The zeroes are the numbers that give the function a values of 0, so find what value for 'x' yields F(x) = 0 as a result.

With quadratic equations (equations with x² as the largest exponent), you factor the equation.  

Step 1: Set the equation equal to zero

  x² + 12x = 0

 Depending on the equation, there are several methods you can use to factor, for this one we can factor out an 'x' since both terms have an 'x' in them.  We get...

  x(x + 12) = 0      

So now, using the "zero product property" which means that if two things are multiplied together, and the result is zero, then either the first term is zero, the second term is zero, or they are both zero.  So we set each term equal to zero and solve.

So

either    x = 0     or        x + 12 = 0

Solve each for x to get your two anwers.

x= 0 is already solved, so 0 is our first zero

Now solve

x + 12 = 0  

  x = -12             (subtract 12 from both sides to isolate x)

Answer:

733 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

V= 3.14*5^2*28/3

Order of Operations (PEMDAS)

5^2=25

25*3.14= 78.5

78.5*28= 2198

2198/3=732.66

In the statement, “Weight is a function of height,” which variable is the input and which is the output?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

A. Height is input, Weight is output

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

"Weight is a function of height".

As we know,

<em>In a function of the form y=f(x), the input variable is 'x' and the output variable is 'y'.</em>

If we write the given statement in the form y=f(x), we get,

Weight=f(Height)

This means that the input variable is 'Height' and the output variable is 'Weight'.

Hence, option A is correct.
