Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newlinef(x)=(x+8)21 f(x)=(x+8)^{2}-1 \newlinelesser x= x= \newlinegreater x= x=
  1. Find zeros of the function: Set the function equal to zero to find its zeros. f(x)=(x+8)21=0f(x) = (x+8)^2 - 1 = 0
  2. Isolate the squared term: Add 11 to both sides of the equation to isolate the squared term.\newline(x+8)21+1=0+1(x+8)^2 - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1\newline(x+8)2=1(x+8)^2 = 1
  3. Take the square root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for xx.(x+8)2=±1\sqrt{(x+8)^2} = \pm\sqrt{1}x+8=±1x+8 = \pm1
  4. Solve for x (positive case): Solve for x by subtracting 88 from both sides of the equation for both positive and negative cases.\newlineFor the positive case:\newlinex+88=18x + 8 - 8 = 1 - 8\newlinex=7x = -7\newlineFor the negative case:\newlinex+88=18x + 8 - 8 = -1 - 8\newlinex=9x = -9
