Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
note that zeros and x-intercepts are the same with different names
There are 2 zeros from the quadratic factor and 1 from the linear factor.
To find them equate the function to zero, that is
(x² - x - 2)(3x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)(x + 1)(3x-2) = 0 ← factoring the quadratic
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
3x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
