Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.f(x)=(x+2)2−64lesser x=greater x=
Find zeros of the function: Set the function equal to zero to find its zeros.f(x)=(x+2)2−64=0
Isolate the squared term: Add 64 to both sides of the equation to isolate the squared term.(x+2)2=64
Solve for x+2: Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for x+2.x+2=±64
Simplify the square root: Simplify the square root of 64, which is 8.x+2=±8
Solve for x: Solve for x by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation for both the positive and negative cases.For the positive case: x=8−2For the negative case: x=−8−2
Calculate the values for x: Calculate the values for x.For the positive case: x=6For the negative case: x=−10
