I need help, if I have the equation 3x^2+2x+5 what are the zeros?

notanaltipromise:

The first step your gonna wanna take is set the equation equal to 0 and factor the equation

notanaltipromise:

Wait

notanaltipromise:

And that's all I've gotten so far

Vocaloid:

This equation is not factorable so you’ll have to complete the square or use the quadratic formula, or even graph

notanaltipromise:

Wait it's not factorable?

minustempo:

I think it is factorable

minustempo:

Wait no it's not

minustempo:

1 3 5 1 -1 -3 5 1 1 3 -5 -1 -1 -3 -5 -1 yeah it's not factorable

minustempo:

with integers anyway

minustempo:

Do you know the quadratic formula?

Jaynater:

First, make sure to graph the polynomial (Y=3x^2+2x+5). Then, you can find the zeros where the line touches the x-axis (x-intercepts).

Jaynater:

If you're having trouble graphing it manually, which would take a while, I suggest using something like a graphing calculator to assist you.
