To solve the equation f(x) = 0, we can set the quadratic equation x^2 + 17x + 60 = 0.
We can factor this quadratic equation:
(x + 5)(x + 12) = 0
Setting each factor equal to zero:
x + 5 = 0 or x + 12 = 0
Solving for x:
x = -5 or x = -12
Therefore, the solution set for f(x) = 0 is {-5, -12}.
Function f(x) = x^2 + 17x + 60. What is the solution set for f(x) = 0?
