Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros are the values of x for which y = 0
Quadratic formula
x = [5 ± √(5² – 4·1·6)] / [2·1]
= [5 ± √1] / 2
= [5 ± 1] /2
= 2, 3
sum of zeros = 5

Explanation:
If the zero is c, the factor is (x-c).
So for zeros of
−
3
,
−
1
3
,
5
, the factors are
(
x
+
3
)
(
x
+
1
3
)
(
x
−
5
)
Let's take a look at the factor
(
x
+
1
3
)
. Using the factor in this form will not result in integer coefficients because
1
3
is not an integer.
Move the
3
in front of the x and leave the
1
in place:
(
3
x
+
1
)
.
When set equal to zero and solved, both
(
x
+
1
3
)
=
0
and
(
3
x
+
1
)
=
0
result in
x
=
−
1
3
.
f
(
x
)
=
(
x
+
3
)
(
3
x
+
1
)
(
x
−
5
)
Multiply the first two factors.
f
(
x
)
=
(
3
x
2
+
10
x
+
3
)
(
x
−
5
)
Multiply/distribute again.

Combine like terms.

Answer: 24 gallons
Check: (1/6)24=4, 4+14=18, 18/24=3/4, good
1. D
2. B
3. A
4. C
Basically always use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 it gives you your A and C so subtract your A from you C and you have your B
D: x ≥ 0
7 < √x < 8 ⇒ 7² < x < 8² ⇒ 49 < x < 64
Answer: x = 50 or x = 51 or x = 52 or ... or x = 63.
