Answer:
x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3 thus 0 is the smallest root
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x (x - 5) (x - 2) (x + 3) = 0
Split into four equations:
x - 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Add 5 to both sides:
x = 5 or x - 2 = 0 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides:
Answer: x = 5 or x = 2 or x = 0 or x = -3
Answer:
7 to the power of negative 8
x-2 is a factor so x = 2 is a root of f(x)
This is because f(x) = (x-2)*g(x) for some polynomial g(x). We don't have to worry about what g(x) is equal to as it doesn't affect the status of the root we're after.
So,
f(x) = 0
(x-2)*g(x) = 0
x-2 = 0 or g(x) = 0
x = 2 or g(x) = 0
This shows how the factor x-2 leads to the root x = 2
Therefore, f(2) = 0
Answer: Choice D
Hello there!
The factorization form is:
(x + 2)(x + 3)(x - 6)
I hope this helps!
What's Ratinal? Do you mean rational? If so, you're right.
