What are the zero(s) of the function f(x)=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B4x%5E%7B2%7D-36x%20%7D%7Bx-9%7D" id="TexFo

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function will be zero when the numerator is equal to 0. So, set the numerator equal to 0 and solve:

$0 = 4 {x}^{2} - 36x$

I will use the quadratic formula:

$\frac{ 36 + \sqrt{ {36}^{2} - 4(4)(0)} }{2(4)} \\ \frac{ 36 + 36}{8} = 9$

Therefore, x = 9 is a 0. Let's check with subtracted root now:

$\frac{ 36 - \sqrt{ {36}^{2} - 4(4)(0)} }{2(4)} \\ \frac{ 36 - 36}{8} = 0$

It appears 0 is also a root.

Therefore, the answer is D.

The function f(x) varies inversely with x and f(x)=8 when x=3

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form $y*x=k$ or $y=k/x$

In this problem we have

For $x=3$ -----> $f(x)=8$

Find the value of k

$f(x)*x=k$

substitute the value of x and f(x)

$8*3=k$

$k=24$

therefore

the equation is equal to

$f(x)=24/x$

For $x=2$ -------> substitute in the equation and find the value of f(x)

$f(x)=24/2=12$
