To find the zeros of ( f(x) = 5x^2 - 25x + 30 ), you need to set the function equal to zero and solve for ( x ) using the quadratic formula or factoring:
[ 5x^2 - 25x + 30 = 0 ]
You can either factor the quadratic expression or use the quadratic formula:
Factoring: [ 5x^2 - 25x + 30 = 5(x^2 - 5x + 6) = 5(x - 2)(x - 3) ]
So the zeros are ( x = 2 ) and ( x = 3 ).
Quadratic Formula: [ x = \frac{{-b \pm \sqrt{{b^2 - 4ac}}}}{{2a}} ]
For ( f(x) = 5x^2 - 25x + 30 ), where ( a = 5 ), ( b = -25 ), and ( c = 30 ):
[ x = \frac{{-(-25) \pm \sqrt{{(-25)^2 - 4(5)(30)}}}}{{2(5)}} ] [ x = \frac{{25 \pm \sqrt{{625 - 600}}}}{{10}} ] [ x = \frac{{25 \pm \sqrt{{25}}}}{{10}} ] [ x = \frac{{25 \pm 5}}{{10}} ]
So the solutions are ( x = \frac{{25 + 5}}{{10}} = \frac{{30}}{{10}} = 3 ) and ( x = \frac{{25 - 5}}{{10}} = \frac{{20}}{{10}} = 2 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
