Let f(x)=x^2+17x+72

what are the zeros of the function?

The zeros of the given function   is are -8 and -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Function  

We have to find the zeros of the functions.

Consider the given  Function  

Since, we have to find the zeros of the given functions.

Put f(x) = 0

Thus,  

We can solve the given equation using middle term splitting method.

17x can be written as 8x + 9x

can be written as

Taking x common from first two term and 9 common from last two terms, we have,

Simplify, we have,

or

x = -8 and x = -9

Apply zero product rule,

Thus, The zero of the given function   is are -8 and -9.
