Help! How do i find a solution set? (I have a texas ti graphing calculator if that helps) An example is

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution set is given by {a, -b}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation,

$(x - a)(x + b) = 0$

Equating the factors to 0 gives,

$(x - a)=0$ and $(x + b)=0$

i.e. x = a and x = -b

So, the solutions of the equation $(x - a)(x + b) = 0$ are x= a and x= -b.

Thus, the solution set is given by {a, -b}.
