SOLUTION: Let f(x)=3/4x-1/2, A) find f(2)+f(-2) and B) find the zero of f(x). So far, I did 3/4(2)-1/2. Then I did 3/4(-2)-1/2. I got 1 and -2 so I added them and got -1 for A). But

Question 208153: Let f(x)=3/4x-1/2, A) find f(2)+f(-2) and B) find the zero of f(x).
So far, I did 3/4(2)-1/2. Then I did 3/4(-2)-1/2. I got 1 and -2 so I added them and got -1 for A).
But for B), I don't quite understand what that section of the question is asking

A) Good Job. You just need to add 1 to -2 to get -1. So f(2)+f(-2)=-1

B) The zero of f(x) is simply the value of 'x' (not necessarily equal to zero) that when you plug in to f(x), you'll get zero. In other words, the value 'k' is a zero if

What this means is that you now plug in into to get . From there, just solve for 'x' to find the zero.
