I really need help. I am really confused on how to fid the "zeros" of an equation?

Question

bibby · Answer

Finding the zeroes of an equation usually means setting it (the equation) equal to zero

bibby · Answer

For example find the zeros of $$x^2+5x+6$$
You'd first factor the expression into: $$(x+3)(x+2)$$
and then set that equal to zero. You then set each part equal to zero because in a product

x*y

The resulting product is only 0 if x =0 or y = 0

x3 – 5x2 + 6x = 0  
can you talk me through this equation because that didn't really help me

bibby · Answer

factor out the x$$x^3 – 5x^2 + 6x = x(x^2 – 5x + 6)$$

does that help
