Answer

a) See graph b) $x=26$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=\sqrt{3x-14}-8$ a) Graph the function. From the graph the zero is: $x=26$ b) Determine the zeros algebraically: $f(x)=0$ $\sqrt{3x-14}-8=0$ $\sqrt{3x-14}=8$ $(\sqrt{3x-14})^2=8^2$ $3x-14=64$ $3x=64+14$ $3x=78$ $x=\dfrac{78}{3}$ $x=26$
