Determine the consecutive integer values of x between which each real zero of f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 1 is located by using a table. Then sketch

the graph on a separate sheet of paper.
OA) zeros between x = -2 and x = -1
O B) zeros between x = -2 and x = -1, and x= 1 and x = 2
O C) zeros between x = -2 and x = -1, x= 0 and x = 1, and x = 1 and x = 2
OD) zeros between x = 0 and x = 1, and x = 1 and x = 2

Final answer:

To determine the consecutive integer values of x between which each real zero of the function is located, create a table and substitute integer values for x. Sketch the graph of the function as a parabola opening upwards.


Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the consecutive integer values of x between which each real zero of f(x) = 2x² - 4x + 1 is located, we can create a table. We substitute integer values for x and find the corresponding y-values. If the y-value is 0, then it is a zero of the function. By doing this, we find that the zeros are located between x = -2 and x = -1. Therefore, the correct answer is option A) zeros between x = -2 and x = -1.

To sketch the graph of the function, we plot the points from the table on a coordinate plane. The graph will be a parabola opening upwards.
