Question

Which values of x would make a polynomial equal to zero if the factors of the

polynomial were (x+4) and (x+8)?
A. 4 and -8
B. 4 and 8
O c. -4 and -8
O D. -4 and 8

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Given the factors of a polynomial.

To find the zeros ( the values that make the polynomial equal to zero ), then

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8
