(x - 2) • (x - 3) • (x - 4) • (x - 5)
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((((x4)-(14•(x3)))+71x2)-154x)+120
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
((((x4) - (2•7x3)) + 71x2) - 154x) + 120
The factor(s) are:
of the Leading Coefficient : 1
of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,8 ,10 ,12 ,15 , etc
Solve both equations for x:
2x+7 = 3
2x = -4
x = -2
Plug x into the equation which contains b:
b(-2) -10 = -2
-2b = 8
b = -4
Answer:
b = -4
x = -2
