Question

A certain quadratic function has the factors 3, (x+2) and (x-5) . What are the zeros of the function?A. X=-2, X=5, and X=-3B. X=2, and X=-5C. X=-2 and X=5D. X=-2, X=5, and X=3

Answer 1

Since we have the factors, we will equal them to zero [The ones with the variable] and we will solve for it, which is going to give us the zeros of the function. That is:

`x+2=0\Rightarrow x=-2`
`x-5=0\Rightarrow x=5`

So, the zeros of the function are X = -2 and X = 5.
