Question

Find the zeros of the function.

Enter the solutions from least to greatest.
h(2) = -5x2 + 180
lesser x=
greater x =

Answer 1

x = - 6, x = 6

Explanation:

Given

h(x) = - 5x² + 180

To find the zeros let h(x) = 0 , that is

- 5x² + 180 = 0 ( subtract 180 from both sides )

- 5x² = - 180 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ±
`√(36)` = ± 6 , then

lesser x = - 6

greater x = + 6

Answer 2

lesser x = -6

greater x = 6

Explanation:

-5x² + 180 = 0

5x² = 180

x² = 36

x = ±6
