Question

What are the zeros of f(x) = (x − 5)(x − 4)(x − 2)?

Answer 1

x=5 , x=4, x=2

i got this answer by setting the x-5=0 then solve for x. same for each x-5, x-4, x-2.

Answer 2

The zeros are 2,4 and 5.

Explanation:

Consider the provided function.

`f(x) = (x-5)(x-4)(x-2)`

To find the zeros equate the function equal to 0.

`(x-5)(x-4)(x-2)=0`

The zeros are:

`(x-5)=0` or
`(x-4)=0` or
`(x-2)=0`

`=5` or
`x=4` or
`x=2`

Hence the zeros are 2,4 and 5.
