Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.\newlinef(x)=(x+6)216 f(x)=(x+6)^{2}-16 \newlinelesser x= x= \newlinegreater x= x=
  1. Set Function Equal to Zero: Set the function equal to zero to find its zeros.\newlinef(x)=(x+6)216=0f(x) = (x+6)^2 - 16 = 0
  2. Solve Equation for x: Solve the equation (x+6)216=0(x+6)^2 - 16 = 0 by moving 1616 to the other side.\newline(x+6)2=16(x+6)^2 = 16
  3. Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for xx.(x+6)2=±16\sqrt{(x+6)^2} = \pm\sqrt{16}x+6=±4x + 6 = \pm4
  4. Solve for x (Positive Case): Solve for x by subtracting 66 from both sides of the equation for both the positive and negative cases.\newlineFor the positive case:\newlinex+66=46x + 6 - 6 = 4 - 6\newlinex=2x = -2
  5. Solve for x (Negative Case): Solve for x by subtracting 66 from both sides of the equation for the negative case.\newlineFor the negative case:\newlinex+66=46x + 6 - 6 = -4 - 6\newlinex=10x = -10
