Question

Which values of x would make a polynomial equal to zero if the factors of the

polynomial were (x-3) and (x-7)?

Answer 1

x = 3 and x = 7

Explanation:

Equate the product of the factors to zero, that is

(x - 3)(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
