Answer:

b x =-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(2x+1) + 3x = 6x + 3

Distribute

-6x -3 +3x =6x+3

Combine like terms

-3x-3 = 6x+3

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-3 = 6x+3x+3

-3 = 9x+3

Subtract 3 from each side

-3-3 = 9x+3-3

-6 = 9x

Divide by 9

-6/9 = 9x/9

-2/3 =x

Factor f(x) = 15x^3 - 15x^2 - 90x completely and determine the exact value(s) of the zero(s) and enter them as a comma separated

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$x=-2,0,3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a function $f(x)=15x^3-15x^2-90x$ . We are asked to find the zeros of our given function.

To find the zeros of our given function, we will equate our given function by 0 as shown below:

$15x^3-15x^2-90x=0$

Now, we will factor our equation. We can see that all terms of our equation a common factor that is $15x$ .

Upon factoring out $15x$ , we will get:

$15x(x^2-x-6)=0$

Now, we will split the middle term of our equation into parts, whose sum is $-1$ and whose product is $-6$ . We know such two numbers are $-3\text{ and }2$ .

$15x(x^2-3x+2x-6)=0$

$15x((x^2-3x)+(2x-6))=0$

$15x(x(x-3)+2(x-3))=0$

$15x(x-3)(x+2)=0$

Now, we will use zero product property to find the zeros of our given function.

$15x=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0\text{ (or) }(x+2)=0$

$15x=0\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{0}{15}\text{ (or) }x-3=0\text{ (or) }x+2=0$

$x=0\text{ (or) }x=3\text{ (or) }x=-2$

Therefore, the zeros of our given function are $x=-2,0,3$ .
