Select the correct answer.

If function [tex]g[/tex] has the factors [tex]\((x-7)\)[/tex] and [tex]\((x+6)\)[/tex], what are the zeros of function [tex]g[/tex]?

A. -7 and 6
B. -6 and 7
C. 6 and 7
D. -7 and -6



Answer :

To find the zeros of the function [tex]\( g \)[/tex] given that it has the factors [tex]\( (x-7) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( (x+6) \)[/tex], we need to set each factor equal to zero and solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex].

1. For the factor [tex]\( (x-7) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x - 7 = 0 \][/tex]
Solving for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = 7 \][/tex]

2. For the factor [tex]\( (x+6) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x + 6 = 0 \][/tex]
Solving for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = -6 \][/tex]

Therefore, the zeros of the function [tex]\( g \)[/tex] are [tex]\( x = 7 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( x = -6 \)[/tex].

The correct answer is:
B. -6 and 7
