Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.f(x)=(x−3)(2x−8), lesser x=□, greater x=□
Factored function: Factored function: f(x)=(x−3)(2x−8)To find the zeros of the function, we need to set the function equal to zero and solve for x.0=(x−3)(2x−8)
First zero: First zero: Solve x−3=0Add 3 to both sides of the equation.x−3+3=0+3x=3
Second zero: Second zero: Solve 2x−8=0 Add 8 to both sides of the equation. 2x−8+8=0+8 2x=8 Divide both sides by 2. 22x=28 x=4
Zeros of the function: We have found the two zeros of the function:x = 3x = 4Since 3 is less than 4, we have the solutions in ascending order.
