Given:

There is a expression given as


-0.125x^2+0.35x+0.75=y

Required:

We need to find the Zeros of given expression

Step-by-step explanation:


\begin{gathered} -0.125x^2+0.35x+0.75=0 \\ -125x^2+350x+750=0 \end{gathered}

now compare the given equation with


ax^2+bx+c=0

a=-125

b=350

c=750

now by using the quadratic formula


x_1,x_2=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)=(-350\pm√(350^2-4\left(-125\right)\cdot\:750))/(2\left(-125\right))

after simplify


undefined
