Question

What are the zeros of the polynomial x squared+5x+6

Answer 1

Answer: (-3, 0) and (-2, 0)

Explanation:

1. Factor

(x+3)(x+2) = 0

2. Check if your factoring is correct

x^2 + 3x +2x + 6 = 0

x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0

3. Look back at factors and use them to find the zeros

(x+3) - > (-3, 0)

(x+2) -> (-2, 0)
