Answer

$-5$ and $1$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(x+5)(x-1)$ Substitute $0$ for $f(x)$. $\Rightarrow 0=\frac{1}{3}(x+5)(x-1)$ Use zero product property. $\Rightarrow x+5=0$ or $x-1=0$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow x=-5$ or $x=1$ Hence, the zeros of the function are $-5$ and $1$.
