Given:
The given function is
[tex]y=x^2-17x-60[/tex]
The objective is to find the zeros of the polynomial by factorization.
Let's factorize the given equation.
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2-17x-60=0 \\ x^2-20x+3x-60=0 \\ x(x-20)+3(x-20)=0 \\ (x+3)(x-20)=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
By solving the above equation.
[tex]x=\lbrace-3,20\rbrace[/tex]
Hence the zeros of the polynomial are -3 and 20.
