Question

What are the zeros of the function below? Check all that apply.A.-3B.-2C.2D.-5E.3F.1

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} A.\text{ }-3 \\ \\ F.\text{ }1 \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation

The zeros of a rational function are the points where the function crosses the x-axis.

To find the zeros of the function, equate the numerator to 0 and solve for x.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} (x+3)(x-1)=0 \\ \\ x+3=0;\text{ }x-1=0 \\ \\ x=-3;\text{ }x=1 \end{gathered}`

Those are the zeros of the function.

The correct options are options A and F.
