Answer:
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, to find the mean of some scores, you must add all the scores together, then you must divide by the number of scores you added. In this case, you would divide by four, because you had four numbers you added to gether.
To find the zeros of this function, we must first set the entire function equal to 0
f(x) = x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Since this is a quadratic function, we must use the quadratic formula, which is:

Let's assign a, b, and c using our first function
x² means a = 1 (because it could be written as 1x²)
-2x means b = -2
-15 means c = -15
Now let's plug those in:

which simplifies to:

Simplified further:


And divide it by the 2 on the bottom gives us:

2+4 = 6
2-4 = -2
So the zeros of this function are
-2 and
6
| -6 | + |8| = 6 + 8 = 14 spaces...so thats gym to school
