the zeros of the function f(x) = x² + 5x - 6 are show your work

Sagot :

Answer:

x = - 6 , x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the zeros let f(x) = 0 , that is

x² + 5x - 6 = 0

consider the factors of the constant term (- 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 6 and - 1 , since

6 × - 1 = - 6 and 6 - 1 = + 5 , then

(x + 6)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
