Written out, this would be (x / 7) - 10 < -6
solved, it would be x < 28
- Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.
(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)
So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x: 
Next, factor 5x^2 + 5x and -x - 1 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as: 
Now apply zero product property to the factors to solve for x:

<u>The x-intercepts are (1/5 ,0) and (-1,0).</u>
Answer: Height of the water is 20 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Base area = 100 square cm
volume of vase shaped like an octogonal prism = 2 liters
We need to find the height of water.
and 1 liter = 1000 cm³
2 liters = 2×1000 cm³
As we know the formula for "Volume":

Hence, height of the water is 20 cm.
