B. 1/-9
C. 1/9
D. -9 -1
Please select the best answer from the choices proided

Answer 1

OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

For zeros of the function (y is the function, a function of x) we need y = 0 so that in turn means we need - 9x - 1 = 0 or - 9x = 1 (i.e. add 1 to both sides); now divide by - 9, and x = 1/-9 which is exactly the same as - 1/9 or - (1/9) and this is the only zero of the function.

or

If y = -9x - 1,

When y = 0

0 = -9x - 1

0 + 1 = -9x - 1 + 1

1 = -9x

1/9 = -9x/9

1/9 = -x

1/[9 X (-1)] = -x/-1

- (1/9) = x

When x = 0

y = (-9 X 0) - 1

y = 0 - 1

y = - 1
