Jordie was asked to identify the zeros of the function

f (x) = (x - 5) (x + 3). Her answers were - 5 and 3. Do you agree or disagree?

Justify her answers or explain why they are wrong.

Disagree.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find zeros, you have to make the parenthesis equal zero. See below.

(x-5) = 0

Add five on both sides to get x by itself

x=5.

(x+3) = 0

Subtract 3 on both sides to get x by itself

x=-3
