Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x=-1, \ x=-3, \ x=3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of a function are the values of x when f(x) = 0.
[tex]x^3 +x^2-9x-9=0[/tex]
Factor left side of the equation.
[tex]x^2(x +1)-9(x+1)=0[/tex]
Take (x+1) common.
[tex](x^2-9)(x+1)=0[/tex]
Set factors equal to 0.
First possibility:
[tex]x^2 -9=0[/tex]
[tex]x^2 =9[/tex]
[tex]x=\± \sqrt{9}[/tex]
[tex]x=\± 3[/tex]
[tex]x=-3 \ \mathrm{or} \ x=3[/tex]
Second possibility:
[tex]x+1=0[/tex]
[tex]x=-1[/tex]
