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.

By selling old CD Sarah has a store credit of $153 a new CD cost $18 what are the problem numbers of new cCD Sarah can buy
DiKsa [7]
Rileyflipflop, \frac{153}{18} = 8 \frac{1}{2}, since she can't buy half a CD, she's limited to no more than 8 CDs. If x = the cost of one CD, then x CDs cost $18x. Since we are limited to $153, our equation looks like... 18x < 153x < 8 \frac{1}{2} Again, since we can't buy half a CD, your answer should actually be... x ≤ 8 since we can buy 8 CDs or fewer.
