please note that your function can be rewritten as below: \[f(x)=5x(x ^{2}-x-6)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

furthermore we can re-write the quadratic polynomial as below: \[x ^{2}-x-6=(x-x _{1})(x-x _{2})\] where x_1, x_2 are the zeroes of that polynomial, namely x^2-x-6. Please compute x_1 and x_2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry how would I compute them

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to search for two integer numbers whose product is -6 and whose sum is +1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I Dont get it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example if I have the subsequent numbers, say -2 and 3, what is -2+3=?
