Focus F: (Part 1) Working with Powers; Focus F: (Part 2) Exponential Equations

Test yourself (solution)

The zeros of a function are the values of x that make the function equal to zero. That means we have to find x such that f(x) = 0.  Substituting zero into the given equation for f(x) we get:   . We then solve this using the techniques developed in this lesson:

The zero for this function is -1.
