Question

What are the zeros of the polynomial function`f(x)=(2x+1)(x-3)(x-2)`?

Answer 1

`x =-1/2 , x = 3 and x = 2`

Explanation:

the zeros of a function are the particular values of x that make f(x) zero.

to find them we let f(x) = 0

here then : (2x+1)(x-3)(x-2) = 0

hence 2x+ 1 = 0 `rArr x = -1/2`

and x-3 = 0 `rArr x = 3`

and x-2 = 0 `rArr x = 2`
