Find the zeroes of the function algebraically.
f(x)= �ã-7x-2
To find the zeroes of the function algebraically, we need to set the function equal to zero and solve for x.
Setting the function f(x) equal to zero, we have:
-7x - 2 = 0
To solve for x, we will isolate the variable x by performing the necessary algebraic operations.
Adding 2 to both sides of the equation:
-7x = 2
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -7 to solve for x:
x = 2/-7
Simplifying the right side:
x = -2/7
Therefore, the zero of the function f(x) = -7x - 2 is x = -2/7.
