A polynomial has been factored, as shown below: f(x) = (x − 9)(x + 12)(x − 24) What are the zeros of the polynomial? (5 points) a −9, 9, −12, 12, −24, 24 b −9, 12, −24 c 9, −12, 24 d 9, 12, 24

Answer:

The answer is Option c

9, -12, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the polynomial:

 [tex]f(x) = (x - 9)(x + 12)(x - 24)[/tex]

To find the zeros we must equal [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]

So:

[tex](x - 9)(x + 12)(x - 24) = 0[/tex]

Then the previous expression is equal to zero in any of these 3 cases:

Case 1

[tex](x-9) = 0\\x = 9[/tex]

Case 2

[tex](x + 12) = 0\\x = -12[/tex]

Case 3

[tex](x-24) = 0\\x = 24[/tex]

Then [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex] if   [tex]x = 9[/tex]  or  [tex]x = -12[/tex] or  [tex]x = 24[/tex]

The answer is 9, -12, 24
