Question

1. what are the zeros of the following function? express answers as ordered pairs. \\( f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 3) \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Set function to zero

$f(x) = (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0$

Step2: Solve for x

$x + 5 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -5$; $x - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 3$

Step3: Form ordered pairs

Zeros are $(-5, 0)$ and $(3, 0)$

Answer:

$(-5, 0)$ and $(3, 0)$
