Question

What are the roots of the function
f(x)= (x - 2)(x + 3)?

Answer 1

x = 2

x = -3

Explanation:

When an equation is factored out, the roots of the equation are in the parentheses. The shortcut is to switch the sign of the number, but what you're really doing is treating it as an equation and setting it equal to zero.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

x + 3 = -

x = -3
