Question

Describe the nature of the roots for this equation.

Answer 1

Because it is = to 0 and the two brackets are multiplied, you have to make either of them 0 by making x cancel out the constant.
So if x is 5 or -2/3 you it works and they are the answers.

Answer 2

so the answer would be 5? because its at its greatest value, right?

Answer 3

Ah didn't see that little line, and so yes it would be :)

Answer 4

Thank you!

Answer 5

wait wait.. but its -5..

Answer 6

If x was 5, the bracket would total 0, and the equation is - to 0.

Answer 7

is = to*

Answer 8
