- Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.
(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)
So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x: 
Next, factor 5x^2 + 5x and -x - 1 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as: 
Now apply zero product property to the factors to solve for x:

<u>The x-intercepts are (1/5 ,0) and (-1,0).</u>
Answer:
the correct answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Lateral SA = area of the 4 triangles
Formula to be used :-
Area (triangle) = 1/2bh
=> 4 x 1/2 x 9 x 12
=> 108 x 2
=> 216 cm²
Total SA = LSA + area of the square
Formula to be used :-
Area (square) = side length x side length
=> 216 + 9 x 9
=> 216 + 81
=> 297 cm²
<u>The correct option is (D).</u>
Answer would definitely be A
