You have the following function:
[tex]f(x)=x^2+5x+6[/tex]in order to find the zeros of the previous function, use the quadratic formula:
[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]where a, b and c are the coefficients of the polynomial. In this case:
a = 1
b = 5
c = 6
replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt[]{5^2-4(1)(6)}}{2(1)} \\ x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt[]{25-24}}{2}=\frac{-5\pm1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]hence the solution for x are:
x = (-5-1)/2 = -6/2 = -3
x = (-5+1)/2 = -4/2 = -2
A) x = -2 , -3
