What are the solutions to the equation 3(x – 4)(x + 5) = 0?

2 answers:

7 0

First you distribute the 3
(3x-12) (x+5)=0
then you set each equation equal to zero
3x-12=0 & x+5=0
then you solve for x
x =4, -5

Answer:

-5, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the solutions to the equation $3(x - 4)(x + 5) = 0$

To solve for x we set each factor =0 and solve for x

$3(x-4)=0$

divide each term by 3

$(x-4)=0$

Add 4 on both sides

$x=4$

$x+5=0$

Subtract 5 on both sides

$x=-5$

So x values are -5 and 4

Answer:

x = 13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

x² + 6.8² = 14.1²

x² = 14.1² - 6.8²

x² = 152.57

Take the square root of both sides

x = 12.3519229272

Rounded

x = 13.4

Use the grouping method to factor x³ + x² + 3x+3.

Answer:

D. $(x + 1)(x^2 + 3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We can group the first two terms and the last two terms.

<h3>Factor by Grouping</h3>

$x^2 + x^2 + 3x + 3$
$x^2(x + 1) + 3(x + 1)$
$(x^2 + 3)(x + 1)$

Factoring by grouping is the process of breaking down larger polynomials to smaller ones to factor. We can then combine like factors.

In the second step, we can see that we can rewrite $x^3 + x^2$ as $x^2(x + 1)$ , as both the two terms share a common factor of $x^2$ . We can pull out $x^2$ from that expression. Similarly, $3x$ and $3$ share a common factor of $3$ , so we can pull that out.
