the point that the function intercepts the x axis are the zeros of the function, where the products set equal to zero give you the x coordinate in which it intercepts.
x=-15 and x=9
set both equal to 0
x+15 and x-9
These are your two products
(x+15)(x-9)
or
x^2+6x-135
The answer is 4 because 2--2 the two negatives make it a positive so its 2+2=4
If we take the perimeter of the park as being equivalent to the distance that Anwar walks, then we can calculate the number of blocks he walks and then multiply this by the width of each block, thus:
Number of blocks walked = 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8
Distance walked = 8*300 = 2400 feet
(You could also draw a diagram to help present this in a visual way but it is not necessary)
Assuming you'd like to know about how much malinda spent at the circus,
