Which function has zeros of -8,1 and 3?

A. y = (x - 3)(x + 8)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find zeros of a polynomial, we set the polynomial equal to zero.

We can eliminate C and D; as we set them equal to 0, we see that a root would be 0 due to x. Since we are not looking for a root of 0, those 2 answer choices are incorrect.

Between A and B, A is correct:

A

0 = (x - 3)(x + 8)(x - 1)

x = -8, 1, 3

B

0 = (x + 1)(x - 8)(x + 3)

x = -3, -1, 8

Answer A is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which function has zeros of -8,1 and 3?  We convert each of these zeros into factors, as follows:  (x + 8), (x - 1), (x - 3).  Answer A is the correct one.
