Answer:

x = -5      

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/3 (x+5) (x-1)

We want to find the zero's so set f(x) = 0

0 = 1/3 (x+5) (x-1)

Using the zero product property

x+5 = 0   x-1 =0

x+5-5 = 0-5      x-1+1 = 0+1

x = -5                  x=1

Answer:

x = -5, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first you want to set both parenthesised equations to zero --

x + 5 = 0        x - 1 = 0

then just solve the one step equations--

x + 5 = 0      x - 1 = 0

  -5     -5        +1     +1

x = -5           x = 1

and you can leave the 1/3 alone (it actually has nothing to do with the zero product property)

hope this helps!!
