Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest. h(x)=(4x5)(x+5) h(x)=(-4x -5)(-x +5)
  1. Identify Zeros: Identify the zeros of the function by setting each factor equal to zero.\newlineFor the first factor, we have 4x5=0-4x - 5 = 0.\newlineTo solve for x, we add 55 to both sides of the equation.\newline4x5+5=0+5-4x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5\newline4x=5-4x = 5\newlineNow, we divide both sides by 4-4 to isolate xx.\newline4x/4=5/4-4x / -4 = 5 / -4\newlinex=5/4x = -5 / 4
  2. Solve First Factor: Solve for the zero from the second factor, which is x+5=0-x + 5 = 0. To solve for xx, we subtract 55 from both sides of the equation. x+55=05-x + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5 x=5-x = -5 Now, we multiply both sides by 1-1 to isolate xx. x×1=5×1-x \times -1 = -5 \times -1 x=5x = 5
  3. Solve Second Factor: Arrange the solutions from least to greatest.\newlineThe solutions we found are x=54x = -\frac{5}{4} and x=5x = 5.\newlineSince 54<5-\frac{5}{4} < 5, the solutions in order from least to greatest are:\newlinex=54,x=5x = -\frac{5}{4}, x = 5
