ANSWER

The zero of
[tex]f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 7)(x + 5)[/tex]

among the given options is

[tex]x = - 3[/tex]

EXPLANATION


The given function is
[tex]f(x) = (x + 3)(x - 7)(x + 5)[/tex]


To find the zeros of the given function, we set

[tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]


This implies that,

[tex](x + 3)(x - 7)(x + 5) = 0[/tex]



Either

[tex](x + 3) = 0 \: or \: (x - 7) = 0 \: or(x + 5) = 0[/tex]



This gives us,

[tex]x = - 3 \: or \: x = 7 \: or \: x = - 5[/tex]


From the options provided, the only zero is

[tex]x = - 3[/tex]
The correct answer is option B.

The zero of the function [tex]f\left( x \right)=\left( {x + 3} \right)\left({x - 7} \right)\left( {x + 5} \right)[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{x =  - 3}.[/tex]

Further explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that the polynomial has n roots if the degree of the polynomial is n.

[tex]f\left( x \right)= a{x^n} + b{x^{n - 1}}+ \ldots  + cx + d[/tex]

The polynomial function has n roots or zeroes.

Given:

The given options are as follows,

(a).[tex]x =  - 7[/tex]

(b).[tex]x =  - 3[/tex]

(c).[tex]x = 3[/tex]

(d).[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Explanation:

The given function is [tex]f\left( x \right) = \left( {x + 3} \right)\left( {x - 7} \right)\left( {x + 5} \right).[/tex]

Solve the function to obtain the zeroes.

[tex]\left( {x + 3} \right)\left( {x - 7} \right)\left( {x + 5} \right) = 0[/tex]

Either [tex]x+3=0[/tex] or [tex]x-7=0[/tex] or [tex]x+5=0.[/tex]

The first zero of the function can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}\left({x + 3} \right)&= 0\\x&= - 3\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The second zero of the function can be obtained as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}x - 7&= 0\\x&= 7\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The third zero of the function can be calculated as follows,

[tex]\begin{aligned}x + 5&= 0\\x&= - 5\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The zeros of the functions are -3, 7 and -5.

The zero of the function [tex]f\left( x \right)=\left( {x + 3}\right)\left( {x - 7}\right)\left( {x + 5}\right)[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{x =  - 3}.[/tex]

Option (a) is not correc [tex]tx =  - 7[/tex] is not a root of the function.

Option (b) is correct as [tex]x=-3[/tex] is the root of the function.

Option (c) is not correct [tex]{\text{x}=3[/tex] is not a root of the function.

Option (d) is not correct [tex]x = 5[/tex] is not a root of the function
