Question

Select the correct answer.
Which statement best describes the zeros of the function h(x) = (x + 9)(x2 - 10x+ 25)?
ОА.
The function has three complex zeros.
OB. The function has three distinct real zeros.
OC.
The function has one real zero and two complex zeros.
OD.
The function has two distinct real zeros.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = (x + 9)(x² - 10x + 25) = (x + 9)(x - 5)²

When h(x) = 0, (x + 9) = 0 or (x - 5)² = 0.

=> x = -9 or x = 5.

Hence there are 2 distinct real roots of h(x).
