Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = - (x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 2)
to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is
- (x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
the zeros are x = -1, 3 and x = - 2
to find the y- intercept let x = 0
f(0) = - (0 + 1)(0 - 3)(0 + 2) = - (1)(- 3)(2) = - (- 6) = 6
y- intercept is located at (0, 6 )
