X | f(x) 2.0 | 2.8
2.5 | 1.1
3.0 | –0.8
3.5 | –1.2
4.0 | –0.3
4.5 | 0.7
For the given table of values for a polynomial function, where must the zeros of the function lie?
A. between 2.0 and 2.5 and between 4.0 and 4.5
B. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5
C. between 2.0 and 2.5 and between 3.5 and 4.0
D. between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 3.5 and 4.0

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of function is 0 at x=c, then c is a root or zero of the function. It means the graph of function intersect x-axis at its zeroes.

From the given table it is clear that the value of function are

x  |  f(x) | Sign

2.0 |  2.8  | Positive  

2.5 |  1.1    | Positive

3.0 | –0.8 | Negative

3.5 | –1.2  | Negative

4.0 | –0.3 | Negative

4.5 |  0.7  | Positive

The sign of values of function changes in interval 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5.

It means, the graph of function must intersect x-axis in interval 2.5-3.0 and 4.0-4.5. So, the zeros of the function lie between 2.5 and 3.0 and between 4.0 and 4.5.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
