Question

Sove by factoring. 11x^3 -7x^2=0

Answer 1

Do you see a common factor for the two terms?

Answer 2

x squared??

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Right. Now factor x^2 from both terms.

Answer 5

Oh wow lol that was a lot simpler than I thought, was over thinking it I guess

Answer 6

Can you finish now?

Answer 7

x=0 and x=7/11.

Answer 8

Okay I understand how you got 7/11 but I don't understand how you got 0...

Answer 9

The factoring is:
x^2(11x - 7) = 0
A product equals zero if one or more factors equal zero.
So you set each factor equal to zero to find x.
x^2 = 0 or 11x - 7 = 0
x = 0 or 11x = 7
x = 0 or x = 7/11

Answer 10

Ohh.... I get it now Thanks! I haven't done factoring since September and I need to do well on my final lol.
