Question

Find the zeros of the function by factoring f(x)=x^2+16x+60

Please show work if you can

Answer 1

-6 and -10

Explanation:

First find two numbers that multiply to 60 and add up to 16

these numbers are 6 and 10

then write the numbers in factored form: (x+6) (x+10)

Then set each one equal to zero and solve to find the zeros of the function

x+6=0 --> x=-6

x+10=0 --> x=-10

the zeros of the function are -6 and -10

Hope this helps!
