Answer:
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Set this equal to zero to find the x intercepts
0 = (x^2 + 4x + 3)(x^2 – 4)
Using the zero product property
(x^2 + 4x + 3) =0 (x^2 – 4) =0
Factor
(x+3)(x+1) =0 (x-2) (x+2)=0
Using the zero product property
x+3 =0 x+1 =0 x-2 =0 x+2 =0
x=-3 x=-1 x=2 x=-2
Let's set it up like this:
Multiply both sides by
We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:
The variable
can be both positive or negative.
