Question

Use ZPP. Find all the solutions to each equation. a. (x2)(x+1)=0(x-2)(x+1) = 0 b. (2x3)(x+5)=0(2x-3)(x+5) = 0 c. 3x(x+8)=03x(x+8) = 0 d. x24x=0x^2-4x = 0

Solution

Verified

Solve the given equation as shown below, follow the steps:

a) (x2)(x+1)=0(x-2)(x+1)=0\qquad [zero product property]

x2=0x=2x-2=0\Rightarrow x=2

x+1=0x=1x+1=0\Rightarrow x=-1

b) (2x3)(x+5)=0(2x-3)(x+5)=0\qquad [zero product property]

2x3=02x=3x=322x-3=0\Rightarrow 2x=3\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3}{2}

x+5=0x=5x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5

c) 3x(x+8)=03x(x+8)=0\qquad [zero product property]

3x=0x=03x=0\Rightarrow x=0

x+8=0x=8x+8=0\Rightarrow x=-8

d) x24x=0x^2-4x=0\qquad [factor out xx]

x(x4)=0\Rightarrow x(x-4)=0\qquad [zero product property]

x=0x=0

x4=0x=4x-4=0\Rightarrow x=4
