Question

A polynomial has been factored, as shown below:

f(x) = (x − 9)(x + 12)(x − 24)

What are the zeros of the polynomial?

−9, 9, −12, 12, −24, 24
−9, 12, −24
9, −12, 24
9, 12, 24

Answer 1

c? @welshfella @ganeshie8

Answer 2

In order for f(x) to be zero, one of the factors must be zero (the only way for a product to be zero is if one or more of the factors is zero). So, to find the roots(zeros), set each factor equal to zero and solve for \(x\). \[x-9=0\]\[x+12=0\]\[x-24=0\]The solutions to these equations are the roots(zeros) of the function.

Answer 3

x-9=0
+9
x=9
