Miracrown (miracrown):

\[f(x) \space = x ^{2} \space - 2x \space - 3\]

OpenStudy (henrietepurina):

yes thats the equation

Miracrown (miracrown):

To find the zeros of a polynomial you just need to set it up equal to zero and solve this quadratic equation

OpenStudy (henrietepurina):

ah ok... gimme a sec

OpenStudy (henrietepurina):

−2x−3?

OpenStudy (henrietepurina):

would that be correct?

Miracrown (miracrown):

Actually, you can use either the general formula or factor it you have to solve a quadratic equation it is not just to have x^2 in one side

OpenStudy (henrietepurina):

mind elaborating @Miracrown ?
