Answer:
Zeros of a function: x = 1 and x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
A zero of a function is the value of x when f(x) = 0. In other words it is the intersect point between x and y=f(x), when y =0.
First we need to make f(x)=0, so we would have: .
If we factorize this quadratic function, we would have:
So we get x = -10 and x = 1.
- x = 1 means that the diver hits the water 1 foot away horizontally from the board.
- x=-10 means the diver hits the water 10 feet behind the diving board.
Hope it helps!
