How do you find all zeros of #y=x^3+x^2-9x-9#? Precalculus Polynomial Functions of Higher Degree Zeros 1 Answer Gió May 12, 2015 Set #y=0# and solve for #x#: #x^3+x^2-9x-9=0# Collecting #x# from the first and third term: #x(x^2-9)+x^2-9=0# #(x^2-9)(x+1)=0# So: #x^2-9=0# #x=+-sqrt(9)=+-3# and #x+1=0# Giving: #x_1=3# #x_2=-3# #x_3=-1# Answer link Related questions What is a zero of a function?
