Question

8x^2-4x=0

Answer 1

Hint: factor out a 4!

Answer 2

I did that

Answer 3

What do you get?

Answer 4

4x^2-x=0

Answer 5

Oops! That is not quite right! It would look like\[\huge 4x(2x-1)=0\]

Answer 6

What do I do next

Answer 7

I need to find the factor form and solution

Answer 8

well, in order for a value to be zero through multiplication, that means one of the terms in the product must be zero

Answer 9

which means either 4x or 2x-1 must be equal to zero

so you can set the individual equations as
4x=0 or 2x-1=0
and then solve for x

if thats what the question is asking for

Answer 10
