Question

Find the zeros of the function.
f(x) = 6x^3 + 18x^2 + 12x

Answer 1

Here are the answer choices:

0, 1, and 2

0, -1, and -2

-1 and -2

1 and 2

Answer 2

Pull 6x out and then find the roots.

so
make f(x) = 6x(x^2 + 3x + 2)

Answer 3

Simplify that and you should be able to find your roots.

Answer 4

So, are the roots 1 and 2?? (:

Answer 5

you also have to remember that you have a 6x, if x = 0, then doesn't the function also equal zero?

Also, remember, the equation is this

(x-a)(x-b) = 0

in order to get (x+c), the actual value of the zero has to be negative.

Answer 6

Oh, yeah!! So, it's 0, -1, -2?

Answer 7

yup

Answer 8

Thank you so so much for your help!!! You are a lifesaver!! :D
