x2 + 4x + 3 = 0 Help medal!!
@KendrickLamar2014 @Elsa213 @Luigi0210
look at the last term 3
@ageta Don't give answers
sorry that is not the answer
Let me take a picture
Factor it.
Can you do that?
what two factors of 3 if added together give you 4 the middle term?
two things to do when factoring. 1. look at the last term your C-term 2. Then determine what two factors of the C term when added give you the B term. 3. be sure to look at the signs also.
I got 191
That's wrong right?
To solve this problem, were going to have to factor. We need to look at the constant term (3) and find factors of the contrast term that add up to 4. 3 can be factored only as 3 and 1. \[3 + 1 = 4\]
So you can factor in the following way: \[(x+3)(x+1) = 0\] Now we apply the Zero Product Property. This property states that if the whole things is 0, if (x+3)(x+1) is equal to 0, then (x+3) will equal 0, or (x+1) equals 0.
x=-3 or x=-1 ?
(x+3) is equal to 0 when x itself is equal to -3 (x = -3). This is because -3 + 3 = 0. Or x is equal to -1 would be equal to 0 because -1 + 1 = 0. So there are two possible answers: \[x = -3 ~ or ~ x= -1\]
Yes, that is correct @Wendy.Ivette11714
Okay thank you!! :)
