Question 6 • 26MATH_Recovery_Alg1B22

Use the graphing calculator to graph and find the zeros of the function y = 2x2 + 0.4x – 19.2. The zeros of the function are

Answer
A
–3.2 and –19.2.
B
–3.2 and 3.
C
–3 and 3.
D
–3 and –19.2.

Explanation

Set the function equal to zero: 2x² + 0.4x − 19.2 = 0. Factoring gives (x + 3.2)(2x − 6) = 0, so the zeros are x = −3.2 and x = 3. The correct choice is “−3.2 and 3.”
