Answer

$0,7$ and $-7$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow y=x^3-49x$ Substitute $0$ for $y$. $\Rightarrow 0=x^3-49x$ Factor out $x$. $\Rightarrow 0=x(x^2-49)$ $\Rightarrow 0=x(x^2-7^2)$ Use difference of two squares pattern. $\Rightarrow 0=x(x-7)(x+7)$ Use zero product property. $\Rightarrow x=0$ or $x-7=0$ or $x+7=0$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow x=0$ or $x=7$ or $x=-7$ Hence, the zeros of the function are $0,7$ and $-7$.
