Question

What are the zeros of the function? f(x)=x(x-2)(x+6) a. -6 b.-2 c.0 d.2. e.6

Answer 1

b.

Explanation:

x=0,−2+√17,−2−√17

Decimal Form:

x=0,2.12310562…,−6.12310562

Answer 2

0, 2 and - 6

Explanation:

To find the zeros of f(x), equate f(x) to zero, that is

x(x - 2)(x + 6) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6
