Question 39 of 40

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = (x + 5)2 x-8)?
A. X= 5 and x = -8
B. x= -5 and x = 8
C. X=-5 and x = 4
D. x= 5 and x= -4
SUBMIT

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

we have to solve the associated equation:

(x+5)(2x-8) = 0

a product is equal to 0 if at least one of its factors is equal to 0

so we can solve this two equations

x + 5 = 0 x = -5

2x - 8 = 0. x-4 = 0 x = 4
