The number is 5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As x = 0 is a zero, (x + 0) is a factor.
Dividing the equation by (x + 0) leaves x² - 9x + 20.
Factoring this polynomial
x² - 9x + 20 = (x - 4)(x - 5)
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The zeros are at 0, 4, and 5.
Which can be verified by using a plotting calculator.
