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
P would equal negative three.
