  1. Factor the quadratic equation: To find the zeros, we need to factor the quadratic equation f(x)=x26x7f(x) = x^2 - 6x - 7.
  2. Identify the two numbers: We look for two numbers that multiply to 7-7 and add up to 6-6. These numbers are 7-7 and 11.
  3. Write the factored form: Now we write the factored form using these numbers: f(x)=(x7)(x+1)f(x) = (x - 7)(x + 1).
  4. Check answer choices: We check the answer choices to see which one matches our factored form.
  5. Identify correct answer: The correct answer is (A) f(x)=(x7)(x+1)f(x) = (x - 7)(x + 1), which matches our factored form.
