The polynomial
may have solutions which are the divisors of -20, therefore -20 has the following divisors:
.
If x=1, then
,
if x=-1, then
,
if x=2, then
, then x=2 is a solution and you have the first factor (x-2).
If x=-2, then
, then x=-2 is a solution, so you have the second factor (x+2).
Since x-2 and x+2 are two factors of
, then the polynomial
is a divisor of
and dividing the polynomial
by
you obtain
.
X^2+8x+x+8 simplifies to x^2+9x+8
Answer:
x = 3 or x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0
Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.
Split into two equations:
x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 3 to both sides:
x = 3 or x + 2 = 0
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Answer: x = 3 or x = -2
D is not in correct scientific notation. To be correct, the answer would be 5.0 x 10^2
