To find the solution set for f(x) = 0, we need to solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 60 = 0.
Subtracting 60 from both sides of the equation, we get x^2 = -60.
Taking the square root of both sides, we get x = ±√(-60).
Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, there are no real solutions to the equation x^2 + 60 = 0.
Therefore, the solution set for f(x) = 0 is the empty set {}.
None of the given answer choices include the empty set, so the correct answer is none of the above.
Function f is defined as f(x)=x^2 + 60. What is the solution set for f(x)=0?
A. {5, 12}
B. {-12, -5}
C. {-3,20}
