The zeros are 2 and 5, because the factors are (x−2)
and (x−5)
.
The zeros are 2 and 5, because the factors are open paren x minus 2 close paren and open paren x minus 5 close paren.

The zeros are 2 and -5, because the factors are (x−2)
and (x+5)

Answer 1

The correct statement is: The zeros are 5 and -2, because the factors are (x−5) and (x+2).

Reason: x^2−3x−10 = (x−5)(x+2), so x=5 or x=−2.
