Answer:

The correct option is;

Substitute x = 0 in the function and solve for f(x)

Explanation:

The zeros of a function are the values of x which produces the value of 0 when substituted in the function

It is the point where the curve or line of the function crosses the x-axis

A. Substituting x = 0 will only give the point where the curve or line of the function crosses the y-axis,

Therefore, substituting x = 0 in the function can't be used to find the zero's of a function

B. Plotting a graph of the table of values of the function will indicate the zeros of the function or the point where the function crosses the x-axis

C. The zero product property when applied to the factors of the function equated to zero can be used to find the zeros of a function

d, The quadratic formula can be used to find the zeros of a function when the function is written in the form a·x² + b·x + c = 0
