Answer:
-6, -5, -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the question, (x+6) is a factor of f(x).
With this, you can do the long division method of dividing f(x) with (x+6) {Refer to the image}.
You'll get x²+6x+5 as a result.
Factorise it and you'll get
x²+6x+5 = (x+1)(x+5)
Then let (x+1)(x+5) = 0, x = -1, -5
Zero's of f(x) are -6, -5 -1
