(x + 4) would be for the first solution What would we have for the second solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite, it would be (x - 8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-4,8) (x+4)(x-8)=0 then distribute, you can find the equation. . .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i distribute ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For (x+4)(x-8) Do you know FOIL? First = x times x Outside = x time -8 Insside = x times 4 Last = 4 times -8

OpenStudy (turingtest):

FOIL|dw:1325636201226:dw|^^^in this way you multiply each term
