Answer:

The answer to the question is

30 ° east of Greenwich Mean Time

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we have the given variables

Current Greenwich Mean Time = 10.00 AM

Location of the Sun at the current longitude = zenith

Supposed correct time when clock is at zenith = 12 noon or 12.00 pm

Time difference, or correction required = 10.00 a. m. - 12 p. m. = 2 hours leading

As there are 24 hours in a day one hour of the difference in time is equivalent to 360/24 or 15 ° and as the Sun is already at its zenith at the location then the location is eastwards of Greenwich Mean time that is,

15 ° × 2 = 30 ° east of Greenwich Mean Time

Answer:

The zeros are x=0,x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x(x-8)

To find the zeros, we set the equation equal to zero

0 = x(x-8)

Using the zero product property

x= 0  x-8=0

x=0  x=8

The zeros are 0,8
