The Remainder and Factor Theorems

Question 1 • IASD Precalculus 2nd Quarter - Wingerter 2025-26

What are the zeros of the polynomial function y = x(x − 6)(x + 3)(x − 11)?

Answer
A
−6, 3, −11
B
0, −6, 3, −11
C
0, 6, −3, 11
D
6, −3, 11

Explanation

A zero makes one of the factors equal to 0. Setting each factor to 0 gives x = 0, x − 6 = 0 so x = 6, x + 3 = 0 so x = −3, and x − 11 = 0 so x = 11. Therefore the zeros are 0, 6, −3, and 11, which is choice C.
