Hello there!

To find the zeroes or the roots of a function, you just need to set the function equal to 0 then solve for x

f(x) = 2x² - 8x - 10

Set function equal to 0

2x² - 8x - 10 = 0

Now we can factorize the left side

2(x + 1)(x - 5) = 0

Then set factors equal to 0

x + 1 = 0 or x - 5 = 0

x = 0 - 1 or x = 0 + 5

x = -1 or x = 5

Thus,

The roots are -1 and 5

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you~!

A train traveled a distance of 1 mile, or 5,280 feet, while climbing a hill at an angle of 5°.
Finger [1]
You can draw a right triangle where>

1) the distance traveled, i.e. 5280, is the hypotenuse

2) the opposite-leg is the vertical height that you need to calculate

3) the angle is 5°.

Therefore you can use the trigonometric ratio sine, which is:

sin(angle) = opposite-leg / hypotenuse = vertical height / distance traveled

= vertical height = distance traveled * sin (angle)

=> vertical height = 5,280 ft * sin(5°) = 460,18 ft

Answer: 460,18 ft
