What are the zeros of f(x) = (x − 5)(x − 4)(x − 2)? (2 points)

x = 5

x = 4

x = 2

Basically to find the zeros (which just means that f(x) = 0) you can just take any one of those terms in parentheses and figure out what X needs to be to make the term zero.

(x-5) = 0 would mean that x = 5

(x-4) = 0 would means that x = 4

(x-2) = 0 would mean that x = 2

If any one of those terms in parentheses = 0, the whole equation is zero (anything x 0 = 0) so those are your zeroes of the function
