Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.f(x)=(x−10)2−49lesser x=greater x=
Set function equal to zero: To find the zeros of the function, we need to set the function equal to zero and solve for x.So, we set f(x)=0:0=(x−10)2−49
Isolate the squared term: Next, we add 49 to both sides of the equation to isolate the squared term:(x−10)2=49
Take the square root: Now, we take the square root of both sides of the equation. Remember that taking the square root gives us two solutions, one positive and one negative:x−10=±49
Solve for x: The square root of 49 is 7, so we have:x−10=±7
Positive solution: We will solve for x by adding 10 to both sides of each equation:For the positive solution:x=7+10x=17
Negative solution: For the negative solution:x = −7+10x = 3
Final solutions: We have found two solutions for x. The lesser value is 3 and the greater value is 17.lesser x=3greater x=17
