For which value(s) of x will the rational expression below equal zero? check all that apply.
a.5
b.1
c.-2
d.-1
e.-5
f.2

x = 5 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function of x to be;

f(x) = (x-5)(x+2)/x+1

The value of x that will make the function zero can be calculated for by equating the given function to zero first to have;

If f(x) = 0, then;

(x-5)(x+2)/x+1 = 0

Cross multiplying;

(x-5)(x+2) = 0

(x-5) = 0 and x+2 = 0

x = 5 and x = -2

The value of x that will make the function zero is therefore 5 and -2

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
