help! quadratic equation, find the zeros

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got (x+7)(3x+6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whould be (3x+7) (x+6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh kay..*would

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why did the greeks have to creat math?

OpenStudy (bibby):

oh boy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha why oh boy

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

cuz they wanted to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because they were trying to make the wheel! and the panthenon and figure out how to use all of that!

OpenStudy (bibby):

because math empowered many things like astrology asides from the point that math always was. the fact that we have numbers and formulas to use are a product of humanity and history.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup!

u think of math as probably silly and not fun. But in reality problems are numerous in our daily lives. Even though math problems may be useless for us to perform. It's really the process and work it takes to solve them. Anything we do has a little of everything in it. really u have it easy compared to ancient times no calcalor or internet to help solve problems.

Doctor Who?

OpenStudy (bibby):

Either way. With products you set each little parentheses bracket equal to 0. Because x * 0 = 0 * x = 0 so we have to set each term to 0 and solve for the value(s) of x

yeah i know that part im stuck on the part were i suck at factoring..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u could use the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (bibby):

I can't remember nonsimple factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's true but that doesn't really help with zeros or does it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i never really liked using the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont like using it but i have a final tomorrow in math and i have to use it :((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u got the 6 and 7 right so u were on the right track.... i always check my factoring for example i'll do the foil of what factors i got then do the foil and see if it matches just to check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats a good idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

checking work always helped me if there was a way but i know it might be time consuming though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as long as it helps get a good grade i don't care

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the more practice u do will help u increase ur speed and confidence. I know studying isn't easy. U'll be okay just do your best.
