Question

What are the zeros of the function? f(x)=x(x-2)(x+1)

-2
-1
0
1
2
select EACH correct answer

Answer 1

x = -1, 0 , 2

Explanation:

The zeros of the function are the solutions to its factors. When you set each factor equal to 0 using the zero product property, the solutions for x are the zeros. The function has factors x, x-2, and x+1. Set each equal to 0 and solve for x.

x = 0

x - 2 = 0 has solution x = 2

x + 1 = 0 has solution x = -1
