Question

Solve the quadratic equation numerically (using tables of x- and y- values). x(x + 6) = 0 a. x = -1 or x = 3 c. x = 0 or x = -3 b. x = 0 or x = 6 d. x =0 or x = -6

Answer 1

Answer:

d. x =0 or x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x + 6) = 0

This is telling us that either x is 0 or x is -6, because:

1) when x = 0, 0*(0+6)=0, and

2) when x = -6, -6*(-6+6) = 0;  -6(0) = 0
