A polynomial function can be written as (x + 2)(x + 3)(x − 5). What are the x-intercepts of the graph of this function? (2, 0), (3, 0), (−5, 0) (−2, 0), (−3, 0), (5, 0) (2, 0), (3, 0), (5, 0) (−2, 0), (−3, 0), (−5, 0)

9514 1404 393Answer:   (b)  (−2, 0), (−3, 0), (5, 0)Step-by-step explanation:The x-intercepts are the points where the factors are zero. The x-value will be the opposite of the constant in the binomial factor.   x+2 = 0   ⇒   x = -2   x+3 = 0   ⇒   x = -3   x-5 = 0   ⇒   x = 5The x-intercepts are (−2, 0), (−3, 0), (5, 0).
