Question

Find all real zeros of the function f(x)=12.
Also I need help with finding all real zeros of the function y=-3x+9.

Answer 1

how long have you been waiting? ^.^

Answer 2

I have been working on this problem for near half an hour.

Answer 3

well let's see

Answer 4

you know what 'zero of a function' means?

Answer 5

ZEROS OF THE FUNCTION F Zeros of the function f are the values of x which makes a function f(x) equal 0. A zero may be real or complex.

Answer 6

i was just about to say that...
so tell me
is
f(x) = 12
ever going to be equal to zero? ^.^

Answer 7

I don't know, I would have to say no.

Answer 8

it's never going to be equal to zero because it's always 12.
that's just the way things are for f(x) = 12.

What about the next one?

Answer 9

f(x) = -3x + 9
when is this equal to zero?
-3x + 9 = 0

Answer 10

i think it's a simple matter of solving for x ^.^

Answer 11

So it would be x=-3?

Answer 12

try it ^.6
-3(-3) + 9
9 + 9
18

zero? I don't think so. try it again ^.^

Answer 13

Alright. Positive 3 then?

Answer 14

try it again :)
-3(3) + 9
-9 + 9
0

that sure looks like zero to me ^.^

Answer 15

So that's my answer?

Answer 16

Is +3 a zero?

Answer 17

of the function -3x + 9?

Answer 18

Well it equaled to 0 when plugged in?

Answer 19

then what do you think? IS it your answer? ^.^

Answer 20

Yes, I think so. I have another question though.

Answer 21

of the function -3x + 9?

Answer 22

then what do you think? IS it your answer? ^.^

Answer 23

How is the slope of a linear function related to the number of zeros for the function?

Answer 24

I think it is the answer.

Answer 25

okay great :P
