Question

whats the answer to p(x) = ( 2x-1)(x-3)^2 find the roots

Answer 1

The roots just means the values of x which are solutions to the equation p(x)=0

So you need to solve:
\(\large ( 2x-1)(x-3)^2=0\)

Answer 2

Keep in mind the Zero Factor Property:

If AB=0, then either A=0 or B=0.

Answer 3

if \(x-3=0\) then what is \(x\)?

Answer 4

x = 3?

Answer 5

is that the answer?

Answer 6

That is one of the roots.

Do you understand how to solve the equation:

\(\large ( 2x-1)(x-3)^2=0\)

??

Answer 7

yes that is the answer

Answer 8

That is NOT the complete answer.
