Answer:

the zeros are x ∈ {-3, 1/2, 2}

Explanation:

A graphing calculator shows where the zeros are. (See attached)

These suggest factors of (x +3)(x -2)(2x -1). To verify these are the factors, we can multiply this out to get ...

= (x^2 +x -6)(2x -1)

= 2x^2 +2x^2 -12x -x^2 -x +6

= 2x^3 +x^2 -13x +6 . . . . same as the original expression
