To find the zeros of the function f(x) = x^2 + x - 30, we set f(x) equal to zero and solve for x:
x^2 + x - 30 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, so we can factor it or use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
Factoring:
(x + 6)(x - 5) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero, we have:
x + 6 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
Solving each equation:
x = -6 or x = 5
Therefore, the zeros of the function f(x) = x^2 + x - 30 are x = -6 and x = 5.
x^2 + x - 30 = 0
