A function with zeros -3 and 2 could be:

(x + 3)(x - 2) or x² + x - 6

Keep in mind that there are an unlimited number of functions that have these zeros, such as:

2(x + 3)(x - 2) or 2x² + 2x - 12
(x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 5) or x³ + 6x² - x - 30

Generally, the function just has to include the factors (x + 3) and (x - 2) to have the zeros -3 and 2.
