    Product of zeroes of a cubic polynomial is - d/a of cubic polynomial ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d

    So we know product of two zeroes therefore by putting value of product of two zeroes and taking third as a variable we get third zero as - 2

    Therefore - 2 satisfies the equation and x+2 will be a factor of the equuation

    By diving the above equation by x+2 we will get a quadratic rquation

    I. e. x^2 - 7x + 12

    Now by splitting the middle term you can find the other two zeroes

    i. e. x^2 - 4x - 3x + 12

    X (x - 4) - 3 (x - 4)

    Therefore (x-3) (x-4) = x^2 - 4x - 3x + 12

    Therefore the other two zeroes are 3 and 4

    The zetoes for the cubic equation are - 2, 3, 4

    To verify you can put these values in the equation and find answer = 0
