Question

What are the zeros of the polynomial function: `f(x) = x^3 – x^2 – 6x`?

Answer 1

`f(x)=x(x^2-x-6)=x(x-3)(x+2)=0`
`x=0,x=3,x=-2`

Explanation:

To find the zeros of the polynomial above first factor out the common factor then factor the remaining polynomial and set it equal to zero. Finally solve for x.
