I need help, if I have the equation 3x^2+2x+5 what are the zeros?
The first step your gonna wanna take is set the equation equal to 0 and factor the equation
Wait
And that's all I've gotten so far
This equation is not factorable so you’ll have to complete the square or use the quadratic formula, or even graph
Wait it's not factorable?
I think it is factorable
Wait no it's not
1 3 5 1 -1 -3 5 1 1 3 -5 -1 -1 -3 -5 -1 yeah it's not factorable
with integers anyway
Do you know the quadratic formula?
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).
If you're having trouble graphing it manually, which would take a while, I suggest using something like a graphing calculator to assist you.
