Find the smallest zero for the function h(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 60

Answer:

The smallest zero is x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation h(x)=4x^2-8x-60

In order to find the zero, h(x) = 0

4x^2-8x-60=0

We can rewrite the equation by factor out 4

x^2-2x-15=0

Middle term can be written as -2x = -5x+3x

x^2-5x+3x-15=0

Now, we factored out GCF

x(x-5)+3(x-5)=0

Factored out the common term

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Apply the zero product property

(x-5)=0, (x+3)=0\\\\x=5,-3

Hence, the smallest zero is x = -3

Note that h(x) = 4x^2 - 8x - 60 factors to 4(x^2 - 2x - 15), and that the roots (zeros) of (x^2 - 2x - 15) are -5 and +3.  Thus, the smallest zero is -5.

1. Prove or give a counterexample for the following statements: a) If ff: AA → BB is an injective function and bb ∈ BB, then |ff
Fantom [35]

Answer:

a) False. A = {1}, B = {1,2} f: A ⇒ B, f(1) = 1

b) True

c) True

d) B = {1}, A = N, f: N ⇒ {1}, f(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) lets use A = {1}, B = {1,2} f: A ⇒ B, f(1) = 1. Here f is injective but 2 is an element of b and |f−¹({b})| = 0., not 1. This statement is False.

b) This is True. If  A were finite, then it can only be bijective with another finite set with equal cardinal, therefore, B should be finite (and with equal cardinal). If A were not finite but countable, then there should exist a bijection g: N ⇒ A, where N is the set of natural numbers. Note that f o g : N ⇒ B is a bijection because it is composition of bijections. This, B should be countable. This statement is True.

c) This is true, if f were surjective, then for every element of B there should exist an element a in A such that f(a) = b. This means that  f−¹({b}) has positive cardinal for each element b from B. since f⁻¹(b) ∩ f⁻¹(b') = ∅ for different elements b and b' (because an element of A cant return two different values with f). Therefore, each element of B can be assigned to a subset of A (f⁻¹(b)), with cardinal at least 1, this means that |B| ≤ |A|, and as a consequence, B is finite.

b) This is false, B = {1} is finite, A = N is infinite, however if f: N ⇒ {1}, f(x) = 1 for any natural number x, then f is surjective despite A not being finite.
