Question

The zeros of a function are x=2 and x=-7. What are its x intercepts and factors?

Answer 1

Explanation:

They have given us the zeros, which tells us the x-intercepts and factors

The x intercepts are at (2,0) and (-7,0)

The factors are (x-2)(x+7)

Answer 2

the zeros and the x-intercepts are the same with different names

x -intercepts are (- 7, 0 ) and (2, 0 )

if x = a is a zero then (x - a ) is a factor

thus (x + 7 ) and (x - 2 ) are the factors
