Answer

$-1, 2$

Work Step by Step

Equating the numerator of the function $r(x) = \frac{(x+1)(x-2)}{(x+2)(x-3)}$ to zero we got $(x+1)(x-2)=0$ implies $(x+1)=0$ or $(x-2)=0$ which implies $x= -1$ or $2$ now we can write the following: the function r has x intercepts $-1$ and $2$ so the required terms are $-1, 2$
