We can find the zeros of the given polynomial by setting it equal to zero and solving for x.


{\texttt{{x}^(2) - (3x)/(2) - 7 = 0}}

To solve for x, we can use the quadratic formula:


{\texttt{x = (-b \pm √(b^2-4ac))/(2a)}}

where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

In this case, a = 1, b = -3/2, and c = -7. Substituting these values in the quadratic formula, we get:


{\texttt{x = (-(-3/2) \pm √((-3/2)^2-4(1)(-7)))/(2(1))}}

Simplifying the expression inside the square root, we get:


{\texttt{x = (3/2 \pm √(9/4+28))/(2)}}


{\texttt{x = (3)/(4) \pm \sqrt{(121)/(16)}}}


{\texttt{x = (3)/(4) \pm (11)/(4)}}

Therefore, the zeros of the polynomial are:


{\texttt{x_1 = (3)/(4) + (11)/(4) = 3}}


{\texttt{x_2 = (3)/(4) - (11)/(4) = -(8)/(4) = -2}}

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial are 3 and -2.
