Nnesha (nnesha):

get rd of the denominator and then factor the quadratic equation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when is a fraction equal to zero?

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

when it is equal to zero

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Solve the quadratic in the numerator, and make sure to exclude the value that makes the denominator equal 0

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

when x=0 I mean

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

can someone walk me through it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when the number on top (the numerator) is zero

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

ohh yeah okay

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

when x = -7 and -2

Nnesha (nnesha):

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

huh?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there are many ways to play with a quadratic equation, which methods have you covered?

OpenStudy (dinamix):

x=2 and x=7 and must be x=/0

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

we have not really learned anything, thanks!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i believe one generally starts with factoring into groups; then moves to completing the square, then covers the quadratic formula. might be a graphing section as well but at least one of these has to be covered before asking you to solve a quadratic equation.

OpenStudy (heyitslizzy13):

so is x=7 & x=2, I did factoring
