To find the zeros of the polynomial y = 2(x - 2)(x + 5)(x + 3), we need to set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for ( x ):

2(x - 2)(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0

 

Since the constant ( 2 ) does not affect the roots, we can focus on the factors:

(x - 2)(x + 5)(x + 3) = 0

 

The zeros occur when any of the factors equal zero:

First factor:

x - 2 = 0
