A zero of a function is the value of x for which f(x) = 0
f(x) = 16x^2 + 32x - 9 = 0
16x^2 - 4x + 36x - 9 = 0
(16x^2 - 4x) + (36x - 9) = 0
4x(4x - 1) + 9(4x - 1) = 0
(4x + 9)(4x - 1) = 0
4x + 9 = 0 and 4x - 1 = 0
4x = -9 and 4x = 1
x = -9/4 and x = 1/4
Answer:
perimeter = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Tangents drawn to a circle from an external point are congruent, thus
AH = AB = 5
GH = GF = 2
EF = ED = 3
CB = CD = 4
Sum the 8 parts for perimeter of polygon ACEG
perimeter = 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 28
