Question

What are the zeros of the polynomial ?

Answer 1

x = 7/2 This is a zero of the polynomial

x = -2/7 This is the other zero

Explanation:

This quadratic function is the product of two linear factors. Set each of these factors = to zero and solve each resulting equation for x:

2x - 7 = 0 => 2x = 7 => x = 7/2 This is a zero of the polynomial.

7x + 2 = 0 => 7x = -2 => x = -2/7 This is the other zero.

Answer 2

Just put each factor = 0 and get the answer

2x-7 = 0

x = 7/2

7x + 2 = 0

x = -2/7

Thus answer is first option
