Step-by-step explanation:
1. The student is wrong because imaginary roots always occur in conjugate pairs.
So -4i cannot be the only imaginary root. It has to be accompanied by 4i also.
2. So the 2 roots can be 4i and -4i.
therefore the equation can be
(x - 4i)(x + 4i) = 0
+ 16 = 0
First we have to write these words in math. This now looks like 3x^2 = 15x. We can also write this as 3x^2 - 15x = 0. This looks like a quadratic, and it is! We can factor this quadratic into the product of two binomials, or (3x + 0)(x - 15).
In order to make (3x)(x - 15) equal to 0, either (3x) or (x-15) has to be equal to zero. This is because the product of a number and 0 always equals the number 0.
If 3x = 0, x needs to equal 0. But because x is a non zero number, x can't be zero.
Moving on to x-15 = 0, we see that x can equal 15. So the two possible values of x in our equation (3x)(x-15) are 0 and 15. We can eliminate 0 because x is a non zero number to get 15 as our final value for x.
