Answer:
- x = 0 or 1
- x = ±i/4
- x = -5 (twice)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring is aided by having the equations in standard form. The first step in each case is to put the equations in that form. The zero product property tells you that a product is zero when a factor is zero. The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero.
1. x^2 -x = 0
x(x -1) = 0 . . . . . x = 0 or 1
__
2. 16x^2 +1 = 0
This is the "difference of squares" ...
(4x)^2 - (i)^2 = 0
(4x -i)(4x +i) = 0 . . . . . x = -i/4 or i/4 (zeros are complex)
__
3. x^2 +10x +25 = 0
(x +5)(x +5) = 0 . . . . . x = -5 with multiplicity 2
Answer:
do i round to the nearest hundredth?if so it would be 0.11
Step-by-step explanation:
9, 2, -5... so is going down by 7 each time, meaning the "common difference" is -7.

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 6 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be x.
x • (x+2) = 48
x^2+2x=48
x^2+2x-48=0
x^2 - 6x + 8x - 48
x(x-6) 8(x-6)
(x+8)(x-6)
x=-8,6
