Identify the zeros of the polynomial function N(x)=1/2 (x-1)(x+3).
a:x+-3
b:x=-1
c:x=1
d:x=3

a:x=-3

c:x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of a function are the values of x for which the value of the function f(x) becomes zero.

In this problem, we have the following function:

Here we want to find the zeros of the function, i.e. the values of x for which

In order to make f(x) equal to zero, either one of the factors or must be equal to zero.

Therefore, the two zeros can be found by requiring that:

1)

2)

So the correct options are

a:x=-3

c:x=1
