Question

Determine the zeros of the quadratic function y=−x2+16x−39
. (When listing the smaller zero, remember that negative values are always smaller than positive values.)(1 point)

Answer 1

Factor or use the quadratic formula: x^2 − 16x + 39 = 0 = (x − 3)(x − 13).

Zeros: x = 3 and x = 13 (smaller zero = 3).
