Question

What are the zeros of the polynomial y = (3x − 1)(x + 2)(2x + 1)?

Answer 1

1/3,-2, and -1/2 should be correct

Answer 2

The given polynomial is already factored into functions of degree one. The roots are values that make the three functions equal to zero. 3x-1=0, x=1/3. x+2=0, x=-2. 2x+1=0, x=-1/2. So the three roots are 1/3, -2, and -1/2.
