The factors of a polynomial are (x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 7). How do the zeros relate to the factors?

Can someone explain this to me because I am so lost?
Answered by Mia
The zeros are always the opposite sign of their value in the factors.

Example:

(x-2)
The value in this factor is -2 but when you solve for x to find your zero it would be +2.
