Question

Find the zeros of the function.

Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.
g(x)= (-5x - 1)(2x + 8)
smaller x =
larger x =

Answer 1

smaller x= -4 larger x= -1/5

Explanation:

zeros occur when y(or in this case g(x)) =0

-5x-1=0

-5x=1

x=-1/5

and

2x+8=0

2x=-8

x=-4
