Answer: The net change would be -2.

Step-by-step explanation: The upward change of elevator is represented by positive sign while the downward change represented by negative sign.

Given, First the elevator goes up 15 floors, change = + 15, Then it goes 9 floors down, change = -9, Then it goes 11 floors up,Change = + 11, Finally, it goes 19 floor down, Change = - 19 So, the net change = sum of total changes = 15 - 9 + 11 - 19 = -2

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = (3x^2 + 9x + 6) / (3x - 6) ?

cricket20 [7]

3x^2 + 9x + 6 = 0
3x^2 + 3x + 6x + 6 = 0
3x(x + 1) + 6(x + 1) = 0
(3x + 6)(x + 1) = 0
3x + 6 = 0 and x + 1 = 0
3x = -6 and x = -1
x = -2 and x = -1
