When finding zeros, the function has to equal zero. In other words, G(x) = 0.
For three multiplied parts to equal to zero, at least one has to be zero. -2 ≠ 0, but (x+1) or (x+7) can.
So you can equate each of those to zero and find out what the zeros are.
x+1=0
x=-1
x+7=0
x=-7
Thus the answer
x = -1 or -7
Answer:
98 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways you can think about this one. Perhaps easiest is to treat it as a square with a triangle cut out of it. The cutout triangle has a base (across the top) of 14 ft and a height of 14 ft, so its area is ...
A = (1/2)(14 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Of course the area of the square from which it is cut is ...
A = (14 ft)² = 196 ft²
So, the net area of the two triangles shown is ...
A = (196 ft²) - (98 ft²) = 98 ft²
_____
Another way to work this problem is to attack it directly. Let the base of the left triangle be x. Then the base of the right triangle is 14-x, and their total area is ...
A = A1 + A2 = (1/2)(x ft)(14 ft) + (1/2)((14-x) ft)(14 ft)
We can factor out 7 ft to get ...
A = (7 ft)(x ft + (14 -x) ft)
A = (7 ft)(14 ft) = 98 ft²
Well the answer is x=2 but i’m not sure how to explain it
When you see the 'line' is increasing starting from 0 to 2 hours, this indicates that the person on the graph is riding up a hill. This is known as positive acceleration or constant positive acceleration.
Where you see the 'line' stays the same 2 to 5 hours, this can indicate that the bike rider is doing one or two things. One thing the biker could be doing is taking a rest, and the other could be that the biker is riding at a leveled ground. This could be known as having constant velocity or zero acceleration.
Finally, where the 'line' is decreasing from 5 to 6 hours, this can indicate that biker is riding, possibly, down a hill. This is known as negative acceleration.
And of course, when the 'line' is going up again from 6 to 7 hours, this indicates that the biker is riding up a hill or increasing his speed. This is known as positive acceleration or constant positive acceleration.
