Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation 2x2 + x - 1 = 2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x² + x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 2 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - \frac{3}{2}

Someone plz help on # 15 (idk what to do) :/
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2x-5= -20

move -5 to the other side

sign changes from -5 to 5

2x-5+5= -20+5

2x= -15

divide by 2 for both sides

2x/2= -15/2

cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and 2 and then becomes x

x= -15/2

polynomial function of degree 4 with -1 as a zero of multiplicity 3 and 0 as a zero of multiplicity 1
iren [92.7K]
\bf \begin{cases}
x=-1\implies &x+1=0\\
x=0\implies &x=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{multiplicity of 3}}{(x+1)^3}~~\stackrel{\textit{multiplicity of 1}}{(x)^1}=\stackrel{original~polynomial}{0}
\\\\\\
(x^3+3x^2+3x+1)(x)=\stackrel{y}{0}\implies x^4+3x^3+3x^2+x=y
