Chapter 3.2, Problem 29PPS

To determine

To find the zero of the given function.

Answer to Problem 29PPS

  $x=-\frac{34}{13}$ is the zero of the given function.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $f\left(x\right)=13x+34$

Concept used:

The zero of a function $f\left(x\right)$ is the value of $x$ for which $f\left(x\right)=0$ .

Calculation:

Consider,

  $\begin{array}{l}f\left(x\right)=0\\ \Rightarrow 13x+34=0\\ \Rightarrow 13x=-34\\ \Rightarrow x=-\frac{34}{13}\end{array}$

Therefore, $x=-\frac{34}{13}$ is the zero of the given function.
