If \(p(x)=x^2-2x-8\), what are the zeroes of \(p(x+3)\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((-5,1)\)

Factor the polynomial as \(p(x)=(x-4)(x+2)\), so its zeroes are \(4\) and \(-2\). For \(p(x+3)=0\), we must have \(x+3=4\) or \(x+3=-2\), giving \(x=1\) or \(x=-5\). Therefore, the zeroes are \((-5,1)\). Exam tip: the zeroes of \(p(x+a)\) are obtained by subtracting \(a\) from each zero of \(p(x)\).
