1. Which statement about f(x) = 2x2 – 3x - 5 is true?
A The zeros are - and -1, because f(x) = (x + 1)(2x + 5).
2
5
B The zeros are - and 1, because f(x) = (x - 1)(2x + 5).
2
C The zeros are -1 and, because f(x) = (x + 1)(2x-5).
The zeros are 1 and, because f(x) = (x - 1)(2x - 5).

  C.  The zeros are -1 and 5/2, because f(x) = (x + 1)(2x-5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the function are the values that make the factors zero. The factors need to multiply out to give the original standard-form equation.

The sign of the constant (-5) tells you the product of the constants in the factors must be -5. That is only true for choices B and C.

Additionally, the x-term needs to match the result of multiplying out the factors.

  B.  (x -1)(2x +5) = 2x^2 +3x -5 . . . . . . . . . wrong x-term (not -3x)

  C.  (x +1)(2x -5) = 2x^2 -3x -5 . . . . . . . . . matches the given f(x)

The factors of C are zero when x=-1, x=5/2.

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
