Question

Find the zeros of each function by factoring. F(x)=5x^2–11x+2

Answer 1

We need to factor the following expression:

`f(x)=5x^2-11x+2`

The factor the equation we need to find which numbers "d" and "e" when multiplied result in 10. And when added are equal to -11.

`\begin{gathered} d=-10 \\ e=-1 \end{gathered}`

We can represent the function by:

`f(x)=(x-10)(x-1)`

The zeros of the function are 10 and 1.
