Answer:
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Set this equal to zero to find the x intercepts
0 = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Using the zero product property
(x^2 + 4x + 3) =0 (x^2 – 4) =0
Factor
(x+3)(x+1) =0 (x-2) (x+2)=0
Using the zero product property
x+3 =0 x+1 =0 x-2 =0 x+2 =0
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
The sign at the end changes because both sides of the equation are being divided by a negative number.
