What are the zeros of the polynomial function f(x) = (x – 6)(x – 2)(x + 7)?

1 answer:

8 0

The given polynomial is in factored form. So in order to find the zeros of the polynomial, set each factor equal to zero and find the value of x. All such values of x will be the zeroes of the polynomial.

So,
x - 6 = 0
⇒ x = 6

x - 2 = 0
⇒ x = 2

x + 7 =0
⇒ x = -7

Thus the zeros of the given function are x = 6, x = 2 and x = -7

Two airplanes start at the same place and travel in opposite directions,one at 395 miles per hour and the other at 422 miles per

Hitman42 [59]

plane 1 travels 395 miles in 1 hour

plane 2 travels 422 miles in 1 hour

together, they travel (395+422) 817 miles in 1 hour

to have 2451 miles between then, they'd need to travel

$\frac{2451 miles}{817 miles}=3$

so in 3 hours, they'll be 2451 miles apart

A model of the Eiffel Tower is 41 centimeters tall. If the scale model is 1 cm/24 feet of the real Eiffel Tower, how tall is the

In-s [12.5K]

Data:

Model: 41cm

Scale: 1cm/24feet

To convert the measure of the model to the real Tower you use the scale factor

The scale factor is 24ft/cm

To know the height of the Eiffel Tower you multiply the height in the model for the scale factor:

$41\operatorname{cm}\cdot24\frac{ft}{\operatorname{cm}}=984ft$ Then so, the height of the Eiffel Tower is 984ft
