Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
First, to find the zeros of the function, we can take out a common factor from the equation, and then factor.
<u>The equation has a common factor of 2 (so distribute of the 2 from all of the numbers).</u>
2(
)
<u>Now, we factor. Find two numbers that multiplies to </u>
<u> and adds up to -6x.</u>
-3x and -3x.
<u>Now, we substitute these two for -6x.</u>
![2(x^2 - 3x-3x+9)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%28x%5E2%20-%203x-3x%2B9%29)
<u>Factor.</u>
![2(x - 3)(x-3)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%28x%20-%203%29%28x-3%29)
<u>Finally, we set all of the values to 0 and solve for x.</u>
2 ≠ 0
x - 3 = 0 x = 3
x - 3 = 0 x = 3
<u>That means the answer is C. x = 3</u>
(Not shown, but the multiplicity of this x value is 2, because there are two
x = 3)
