How to solve this equation (2a - 2) (a + 1) =0

2 answers:

6 0

Since the left side is a product of the two parenthetical terms, if either of them is equal to zero the equation is true, because anything time zero equal zero. So the two solutions to that equation are when

2a-2=0

2a=2

a=1

and

a+1=0

a=-1

So the two solutions occur when a=-1 and 1

Since anything multiplied by zero produces zero, we can say 0(a + 1) = 0 and (2a - 2)(0) = 0.

Thus, 2a - 2 = 0 or a + 1 = 0
2a = 2
a = 1

a = -1

We can conclude that a = 1 or - 1 will produce the end result as 0.

Which expression is equivalent to 4 sqrt 24x^6y/128x^4y^5

Stels [109]

The first step for finding out if the expression provided is equivalent to $\sqrt{4}$ is to reduce the fraction with $x^{4}$ .
$\frac{24 x^{2} y}{128 y^{5} }$
Now reduce the fraction with y.
$\frac{24 x^{2} }{128 y^{4} }$
Finally,, reduce the fraction with 8 to get your final answer.
$\frac{3 x^{2} }{16 y^{4} }$
Let me know if you have any further questions.
