EXPLANATION
The given function is

The factored form of the function reveals the zeros of the function.
From the factored form, we apply the zero product principle to get the zeros.
From the given options, the factored form of the polynomial is

Answer: k=54/79
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Subtract 16/3k from both sides.
Step 3: Subtract 5/2 from both sides.
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 12/(-79).

Answer:
4. 225
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between points (-5, -3) and (-5, 12) is the length of the side of the square. Since both points have an x-coordinate of -3, they lie on the same vertical line. The distance between them is |12 - (-3)| = |12 + 3| = |15| = 15. The side measures 15 units.
area = side^2
area = 15^2 = 225
