Question

What are the zeros of the polynomial function F(x) = x3 - 5x2 - 6x?

Answer 1

The zeros are {2, 3}

Explanation:

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

F(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 - 6x

Factoring out x, we get:

F(x) = x(x^2 - 5x - 6)

Factoing the quadratic, we get:

F(x) = x(x - 3)(x - 2) = 0

The zeros are {2, 3}
