Solution

To find the common zeroes of the two polynomials, we first need to find the zeroes of each polynomial separately.

  1. For the first polynomial x^3 + 5x^2 - 9x - 45 = 0, we can factor it to get (x-3)(x+3)(x+5) = 0. So the zeroes of the first polynomial are x = 3, -3, -5.

  2. For the second polynomial x^3 + 8x^2 + 15x = 0, we can factor out an x to get x(x^2 + 8x + 15) = 0. Further factoring gives x(x+3)(x+5) = 0. So the zeroes of the second polynomial are x = 0, -3, -5.

  3. Comparing the zeroes of the two polynomials, we see that the common zeroes are x = -3 and x = -5.
