Answer:
f(x)=x²-3x-10
Step-by-step explanation:
\begin{gathered}f(x) = x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 \\ to \: find \: x \: intercept \:o r \: zero \: substitute \: f(x) = 0\: \\ 0 = x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 \\ x {}^{2} - 3x - 10 = 0 \\ x {}^{2} + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0 \\ x(x + 2) - 5x - 10 = 0 \\ x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) = 0 \\ (x + 2).(x - 5) = 0 \\ x + 2 = 0 \\ x - 5 = 0 \\ x = - 2 \\ x = 5\end{gathered}
f(x)=x

x(x+2)−5(x+2)=0
(x+2).(x−5)=0
x+2=0
x−5=0
x=−2
x=5
therefore the zeros of the equation are x₁=-2,x₂=5
