Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newlinef(x)=(x3)(2x8) f(x) = (x - 3)(2x - 8) , lesser x= \text{lesser } x = \square , greater x= \text{greater } x = \square
  1. Factored function: Factored function: f(x)=(x3)(2x8)f(x) = (x - 3)(2x - 8)\newlineTo find the zeros of the function, we need to set the function equal to zero and solve for xx.\newline0=(x3)(2x8)0 = (x - 3)(2x - 8)
  2. First zero: First zero: Solve x3=0x - 3 = 0\newlineAdd 33 to both sides of the equation.\newlinex3+3=0+3x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3\newlinex=3x = 3
  3. Second zero: Second zero: Solve 2x8=02x - 8 = 0
    Add 88 to both sides of the equation.
    2x8+8=0+82x - 8 + 8 = 0 + 8
    2x=82x = 8
    Divide both sides by 22.
    2x2=82\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2}
    x=4x = 4
  4. Zeros of the function: We have found the two zeros of the function:\newlinex = 33\newlinex = 44\newlineSince 33 is less than 44, we have the solutions in ascending order.
