Question

What are the zero(s) of the function f(x) = the quantity of 5 x squared plus 25 x, all over x

Answer 1

Is this the equation?
f(x) = (5x² + 25x) / x

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

well I guess we could divide the numerator by the 'x' which equals
f(x) = 5x + 25x

Answer 4

wait dont you have to factor first?

Answer 5

wait that's 5x + 25

Answer 6

where do you get that from?

Answer 7

what is the zero is what I'm looking for

Answer 8

Basically, math books now ask for the "zeroes" when they should say "what's the answer".
Anyway if 5x + 25 = 0 what is x?

Answer 9
