Function f is defined as f(x)=x^2+17x+60. What is the solution set for f(x)=0
{5,12}
{-12, -5}
{-3, 20}
{-20, 3}
To find the solution set for f(x) = 0, we can set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x.
x^2 + 17x + 60 = 0
Now, we can factor the quadratic equation:
(x + 5)(x + 12) = 0
Setting each factor equal to 0, we find:
x + 5 = 0 ---> x = -5
x + 12 = 0 ---> x = -12
Therefore, the solution set for f(x) = 0 is {-5, -12}.
