a. find all the zeros
,
if is a zero, then is a zero
using zero product formula we have =>
now we need to use long division and divide by
--------------

----------------.....
---------------......
---------------............................. =>reminder
so, third zero is , and the product of all zeros is:
or

b. factor as a product of linear factors
...write as and as
......group



c. solve the equation
or like we have in a.

solutions:
=>=>
and two already given zeros
