The zeros of the function f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 10 can be found by setting the function equal to 0 and solving for x:
x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Now, we can factor this quadratic equation:
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
Setting each factor to zero gives:
x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = -5 or x = 2
Therefore, the zeros of the function are x = -5 and x = 2.
A. x = - 5 and x = 2
x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Now, we can factor this quadratic equation:
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
Setting each factor to zero gives:
x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = -5 or x = 2
Therefore, the zeros of the function are x = -5 and x = 2.
A. x = - 5 and x = 2
