Chapter 1.3, Problem 27E

To determine

To find:zero of the function $f\left(x\right)=14x$ and graph that function.

Answer to Problem 27E

The zero of the function is 0.

  

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The function is a follows:

  $f\left(x\right)=14x$ … (1)

Calculation:

To find the zero of the function, put $f\left(x\right)=0$ in equation (1) and simplify it as follows:

  $\begin{array}{c}f\left(x\right)=14x\\ 0=14x\\ x=\frac{0}{14}\\ x=0\end{array}$

Compare the function with the slope intercept form $y=mx+b$ , to get

  $y=0,b=0$

When $y=0,x=0$ , the coordinates is $\left(0,0\right)$ . Thus, the zero of the function is 0.

The graph of this function is as follows:
