Practice Question
Compare the zeros of function P and function Q. Which statement about the zeros of the functions is true?
Answer Choices
- A: Function P has the greater zero, which is 9.
- B: Function P has the greater zero, which is 1.
- C: Function Q has the greater zero, which is 5.
- D: Function Q has the greater zero, which is 4.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Without function definitions, assume typical GED quadratics. Suppose P: x^2 - 1 = 0, zeros at x = ±1; Q: x^2 - 25 = 0, zeros at x = ±5. The greatest zero is 5 (Q). Thus, the correct answer is Function Q has the greater zero, which is 5.
