Solve the equation using the zero-product property. (2x − 8)(7x + 5) = 0 x = –2 or x = 7 x = 4 or x = x = 4 or x = x = –4 or x =

1 answer:

5 0

$(2x-8)(7x+5)=0\iff2x-8=0\ \vee\ 7x+5=0\\\\2x-8=0\qquad\text{add 8 to both sides}\\2x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=4}\\\\7x+5=0\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\7x=-5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\boxed{x=-\dfrac{5}{7}}$

One important idea of the section "When Good Bananas Go Bad" is that experts say that we should grow only one type of banana in

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the section, "When Good Bananas Go Bad", we are made to understand that one of the reasons why the TR4 fungus can spread easily through banana roots is because, there is only one variety, which is the Cavendish variety. Experts advise that people should develop interest in other varieties like the Manzano, which has the taste of Apple and Strawberry.

Another reason given for the spread of the disease is increased human transportation. Although growing one type of banana would be beneficial for companies, the fact that they have the same genetic material, aids the spread of the disease. So, diversification is advised.
