Answer:

C = 6x - 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three sides of the triangle = A, B, and C respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter of triangle, P = 17x-5 units

Side A = 3x+5 units

Side B = 8x-3 units

To find side C?

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = A + B + C

Making "C" the subject of formula, we have;

C = P - A - B

Substituting into the equation, we have

C = 17x - 5 - (3x + 5) - (8x - 3)

C = 17x - 5 - 3x - 5 - 8x + 3

Collecting the like terms, we have;

C = 17x - 3x - 8x - 5 - 5 + 3

C = 6x - 7 units

Therefore, the third side is 6x - 7 units long.

What are the zeros of the function below?
Ivan
When you want to find zeros of rational expression you need to find at which points numerator is equal to zero. In this case, we have the product of three expressions.
x(x-1)(x+11)=0
A product is equal to zero whenever one of the factors is equal to zero. 
That means that zeros of our functions are:
1)x=0
2)x-1=0
x=1
3)x+11=0
x=-11
The final answer is a. Function has zeros at (0, 1, -11).
