Question

What are the zeros of the function below? Check all that apply.

f(x)=x(x-2)/(x+3)(x-5)
a.-2
b.-5
c.3
d.2
e.0
f.-3

Answer 1

Answer: 2, 0

Explanation:

Apex...It’s correct

Answer 2

The function shown is ...

`f(x)=(x(x-2))/((x+3))(x-5)`

It will have zeros where the numerator factors are zero: x=0, 2, 5.

_____

Perhaps you intend the function

... f(x) = x(x-2)/((x+3)(x-5))

which is written in typeset form as ...

`f(x)=(x(x-2))/((x+3)(x-5))`

It, too, will have zeros where the numerator factors are zero: x = 0, x = 2.

Appropriate choices seem to be ...

• d. 2
• e. 0
