<h3>Answer: Approximately 9.219544 miles</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
See the diagram below
We have a right triangle with legs of 6 and x. The hypotenuse is 11. Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x
a^2+b^2 = c^2
x^2+6^2 = 11^2
x^2 + 36 = 121
x^2 = 121-36
x^2 = 85
x = sqrt(85) is the exact distance
x = 9.219544 is the approximate distance
units are in miles

Given:
The graph of a function.
To find:
The zeros of this function on the graph.
Solution:
We know that, zeros are the values at which the values of the function is 0. It means, the points where the graph of function intersect the x-axis are know as zeros of the function.
From the given graph it is clear that, the graph intersect the x-axis at two points.
Therefore, the marked points on the below graph are the zeros of the function.
The graph shows the solution to be (x, y) = (-1, 3).
