The zeros of a quadratic function are -7 and 3. Which of the following could be the function? Select all that apply.
A. F(x)=2x^2-8x-42
B. F(x)=5x^2+20x-105
C. F(x)=x^2+4x-21
D. F(x)=x^2-4x-21

Respuesta :

The possible functions are

A. F(x)=2x^2-8x-42

B. F(x)=5x^2+20x-105

C. F(x)=x^2+4x-21

How to determine the possible equations?

The zeros are given as:

x = -7 and x = 3

Rewrite as:

x +7 = 0 and x - 3 = 0

Multiply both zeros

(x + 7) * (x - 3) = 0 * 0

Evaluate the product

x^2 + 7x - 3x - 21 = 0

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

Express as a function

f(x) = a(x^2 + 4x - 21)

Where a is a constant

Let a = 1, 2 and  5 (according to the values in the options)

f(x) = 1 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = x^2 + 4x - 21 --- option (c)

f(x) = 2 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = 2x^2 + 8x - 42 --- option (a)

f(x) = 5 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = 5x^2 + 20x - 105 --- option (b)

Hence, the possible functions are (a), (b) and (c)
