Question

type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words.
the zeros of the function ( f(x) = -(x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 2) ) are -1, 3, and (square), and the y-intercept of the function is located at (0, (square)).

Explanation:

Step1: Find the zero from (x + 2)

To find the zero of the factor \((x + 2)\), set \(x + 2 = 0\). Solving for \(x\), we get \(x = -2\).

Step2: Find the y - intercept

The y - intercept of a function \(y = f(x)\) is found by setting \(x = 0\) in the function.
Given \(f(x)=-(x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 2)\), substitute \(x = 0\):

Answer:

The zeros of the function are - 1, 3, and \(-2\), and the y - intercept of the function is located at \((0, 6)\). So the first box (for the zero) should be filled with \(-2\) and the second box (for the y - intercept) should be filled with \(6\).
