Question

A polynomial function can be written as (x + 2)(x + 3)(x - 5). What are the x-intercepts of the graph of this function?

(2, 0), (3, 0), (-5, 0)

(-2, 0), (-3, 0), (5, 0)

(2, 0), (3, 0), (5, 0)

(-2, 0), (-3, 0), (-5, 0)

Answer 1

x=-3,-2,5

Answer 2

answer would be (-2, 0), (-3, 0), (5, 0)

Answer 3

Thanks!

Answer 4

Split into three equations:
x-5 = 0 or x+2 = 0 or x+3 = 0
Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 5 to both sides:
x = 5 or x+2 = 0 or x+3 = 0
Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = 5 or x = -2 or x+3 = 0
Look at the third equation: Solve for x.
Subtract 3 from both sides:
answer would be (-2, 0), (-3, 0), (5, 0)

Answer 5

I appreciate the detailed explanation!
