HELP!

Answer 1

What are zeros of a function?

Answer 2

a member x of the domain of f such that f(x) vanishes at x

Answer 3

If we put that in English the zeros are the values of x that make y= 0.

Answer 4

you have to simpifly the top and bottom to see if anything cancles out. whateveer doesnt cancle out on the bottom is a zero

Answer 5

So in this case, since we have a fraction, and a fraction is 0 if its numerator is 0, we are looking for the values of x that make the numerator 0.

Answer 6

in other words you set the bottom equal to zero.

Answer 7

all real numbers except -2 and -4?

Answer 8

You have the right numbers but the wrong conclusion.

Answer 9

Those are the ONLY numbers that are zeros

Answer 10

Because they are the only numbers that cause the numerator to be 0

Answer 11

-2 and -4 ?

Answer 12

its only -4 because if you simplify both top and bottom then you realize that the x-2 on the bottom cancles out creating a whole not a zero.

Answer 13

Yes.

Answer 14

and all real numbers are not zeros.

Answer 15

That is very true. It cannot be -2 because -2 is not in the domain since it would make the denominator 0. Good find @mulline

Answer 16

So the only zero is -4

Thank you!!!
