Question

solve by factoring, then using zero product principle 12x-4=3x^3-x^2

Answer 1

\[(2-x) (x+2) (3 x-1)=-3 x^3+x^2+12 x-4 \]

Answer 2

what is the integer?

Answer 3

The integer solution x=2 and x=-2 comes from the factors (2-x)(x+2). Set each factor to zero and solve for x. In a similar manner, x=1/3.
