Question

If the factors of function f are (x - 6) and (x - 1), what are the zeros of function f?

Answer 1

X=6 and x=1

You can find your zeros by determining what you have to plug into the function in order for it to equal zero

If we plug in 6, for example we’d get (6-6)(x-1)

Simplified this is 0(x-1)

Anything times 0 is 0, so this is one of our zeros.

Same goes for x-1, we just need to plug in 1 for it to equal 0

Therefore there are zeros at x=1 and x=6 :))
