What is an equivalent form of the function f(x) = x^2 +8x+15 that reveals the zeros of the function? a. y= (x-3)^2-5 b. f(x) = (x-3)^2-5 c. f(x) = (x+3)(x+5)

ANSWER

C. f(x) = (x+3)(x+5)

EXPLANATION

The given function is

The factored form of the function reveals the zeros of the function.

From the factored form, we apply the zero product principle to get the zeros.

From the given options, the factored form of the polynomial is

i believe it is c.y = 9x

rise over run. 9 units up over 1 unit right or 9/1

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
