Question

What are the zeros of F(x)=(x-2)(x+7)

Answer 1

zeros: x = 2 and x = -7

Explanation:

use zero product property - set the polynomial equal to 0

(x-2)(x+7) = 0

then set each factor separately to 0:

x - 2 = 0 x + 7 = 0

solve for x by adding 2 to both sides in the equation on the right, and subtracting 7 from both sides in the equation on the left

x = 2 x = 7

Answer 2

Zero's are X = 2 and X = -7

Explanation:

you would set the factorized parts equal to zero, as in x - 2 = 0 and x + 7 = 0, then solve for x, and whatever you get is where y will be zero
