  • {x}^(2) +2 x - 35


  • {x}^(2) + 7x - 5x - 35


  • x(x + 7) - 5(x + 7)


  • (x + 7)(x - 5)

> Equating with zero

Case - 1

  • x + 7 = 0
  • x = -7

Case - 2

  • x - 5 = 0
  • x = 5

The required Zeroes are :


\huge\boxed{5 \: \: \: and -7}

Answer:

x = - 7, x = 5

Explanation:

To find the zeros, let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 2x - 35 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 7)(x - 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - 7

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
