Answer:
x = - 2, x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 4x² - 20x - 56
To find the zeros let f(x) = 0, that is
4x² - 20x - 56 = 0 ( divide through by 4 )
x² - 5x - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 7)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
Answer: (f + 2) (f + 8)
It's hard to explain, but I suggest you use the AC method. Hope this helps!
Answer:
9,000
Step-by-step explanation
You pay one 4th of your money on taxes. 36000/4 is 9,000.
4/5y + 3(2/5x + 7/5y)...distribute thru the parenthesis
4/5y + 6/5x + 21/5y ...combine like terms
25/5y + 6/5x.....reduce
5y + 6/5x
F(x) = (x² - 3x - 10)(x + 4) becomes (x - 5)(x + 2)(x + 4) when completely factored. Now set each binomial equal to zero.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2
x + 4 = 0
x = - 4
Your zeros are at x = - 4, - 2, and 5. Or at (- 4, 0), (- 2, 0), and (5, 0).
