f(x) = x2+3x+2
x2+3x+2 = 0
(x+2) (x+1) = 0
x+2=0 x+1=0
x= -2 x= -1
Therefore, the zeros are -2 and -1
f(x) = x2-5x+6
x2-5x+6 = 0
(x-3) (x-2) = 0
x-3 =0 x-2=0
x= 3 x= 2
Therefore, the zeros are 3 and 2
f(x) = x2-2x-3
x2-2x-3 = 0
(x-3) (x+1) = 0
x-3 =0 x+1=0
x= 3 x= -1
Therefore, the solutions are 3 and -1
