Answer

$0,1,$ and $-1$

Work Step by Step

The given function is $\Rightarrow h(x)=x(x^2-1)$ Substitute $0$ for $h(x)$. $\Rightarrow 0=x(x^2-1)$ $\Rightarrow 0=x(x^2-1^2)$ Use difference of two squares pattern. $\Rightarrow 0=x(x-1)(x+1)$ Use zero product property. $\Rightarrow x=0$ or $x-1=0$ or $x+1=0$ Solve for $x$. $\Rightarrow x=0$ or $x=1$ or $x=-1$ Hence, the zeros of the function are $0,1,$ and $-1$.
