Concept explainers
To find: Zero of the given function
Answer to Problem 54PFA
Zero of the given function is 119,774 that represents the estimated number of feet above sea level when the boiling point is 0 degree Fahrenheit. Or, option B is correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The function
Formula/Concept used: Zero of a function is the value of its independent variable when the value of the function is 0. Or to get the zero, y is put equal to zero and equation is then solved for x . And if function`s value is 0, that means temperature is 0 degree Fahrenheit at that moment.
Calculation: On putting given equation, equal to 0 and then solving for x :
Conclusion: So, zero of the given function is 119774 that actually the estimated number of feet above sea level when the boiling point is 0 degree Fahrenheit.
