Question

select the correct answer.
what is the zero of the function represented by this graph?
a. $x = 1$
b. $x = 5$
c. $x = -5$
d. $x = -1$

Explanation:

Step1: Define function zero

A zero of a function is the $x$-value where the graph intersects the $x$-axis (i.e., $y=0$).

Step2: Locate x-axis intersection

Observe the graph: it crosses the $x$-axis at $x=-5$.

Answer:

C. $x = -5$
