the 3 and the 2 are exponents by the way
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
You could factor it
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
First thing you can do is factor out the 'x'
OpenStudy (abdullahm):
x^3, x^2, and -20x all have 'x' in common
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
I got A but i keep getting confused because when I look up to confirm my answer everyone else gets different results... confirm?

No it's not
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
First factor out x. tell me the result
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
x(x^2+x+20)= x(x+5)(x-4) right?
OpenStudy (studygurl14):
yes, bu tI wanted @iwanttogotostanford to do it
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
ugh see I need someone who definitley knows how to do it and knows the answer. I keep getting mixed answers

A is right
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
If you mean the first one on your list
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
x(x+5)(x-4)=0 right?
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
yes thats what I mean, but then why did that other guy way it was wrong?
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
He didn't

@StudyGurl14 said it wasn't right...
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
He just wanted you to do the factoring
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
oh ok, so you are completely sure it is right? sorry but just want to make sure
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
You can check your answer by multiplying your three factors back out
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
ok and i did that but when i was done i checked my answer online and people got different answers so i just wanted to make sure

x(x+5)(x-4)=0 at x=0 x=-5 or x=4
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
i thought it was -4....
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
because based off of what you said then t would be "b"
OpenStudy (dannyo19):
oh, it's b then.. If you agree those are your 3 factors.
OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):
well I am not 100% sure thats why I am here
