Q. Find the zeros of the function. Enter the solutions from least to greatest.f(x)=(−x−2)(−2x−3)lesser x=□greater x=□
Factored function: Factored function: f(x)=(−x−2)(−2x−3)To find the zeros of the function, we need to set the function equal to zero and solve for x.(−x−2)(−2x−3)=0
Setting the first factor equal to zero: First, let's find the zero by setting the first factor equal to zero.−x−2=0Now, solve for x.−x=2x=−2
Solving for x: Next, find the zero by setting the second factor equal to zero.−2x−3=0Now, solve for x.−2x=3x = −23 or x = −1.5
Setting the second factor equal to zero: We have found two zeros: x=−2 and x=−1.5.To list them in ascending order:x=−1.5 (lesser)x=−2 (greater)
