Answer:
-7, 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - x - 56 = 0
Let's see if we can factor this function:
We need 2 numbers whose product is -56 and whose sum is -1 ( which is the coefficient of x).
They are -8 and 7 , so the factors are:
(x - 8)(x + 7) = 0
x - 8 = 0 giving x = 8 and
x + 7 = 0 giving x = -7.
The zeros are -7, 8
