Question

Which of the following values are zeros for the function below? Select all that apply. g(x)=(x^2+4x-12)(x-3)

A.-6
B.-3
C.-2
D.0
E.2
F.3
G.6

Answer 1

No!! The answer is

-6 (not positive 6)

2

3

Explanation:

Answer 2

A) -6

E) 2

F) 3

Explanation:

Given: g(x) = (x^2 + 4x - 12)(x -3)

We can factor (x^2 + 4x -12)

g(x) = (x -2)(x + 6)(x-3)

Now set g(x) equal to zero to find the zeros of the functions

(x - 2) (x + 6) (x - 3) = 0

(x - 2) = 0; (x + 6) = 0; (x - 3) = 0

x =2 ; x = -6 and x = 3

Therefore, zeros of the function are

A) -6

E) 2

F) 3

Hope this will helpful.
