I need help finding the solution set
Um, can I see an example? Like, have you done one before?
I have to see what the final answer should look like.
uhm one second
the answer was (−3−√7,−3,–√7,6)
Okay, I see.
So, first, do you know how to factor the equation?
n o p e :)
... Well, you need to learn to start that before anything...
i just started at my school and we werent here yet
at my old school
Uhm, okay. Do you know basic factoring? Like | \[x^2+10x+25=0\]
ik how to factor like.. foil
(x+5)(x+5)=0 if thats what you mean
If a polynomial function has integer coefficients, then every rational zero will have the form P/Q where p is a factor of the constant and q is a factor of the leading coefficient. Do you understand that?
sorta
so like
25/ 10?
Well, like. \[p=\pm1, \pm 2\] \[q=\pm1\]
wait how'd you get that
that makes no sense
Graph it.
OOOOHHHH
Substitute 2 and simplify the expression. In this case, the expression is equal to 0 so, 2 is a root of the polynomial.
|So, we substitute 2 into the polynomial. | \[2^3-5\times2+2=0\]
the answer was (−3−√7,−3+√7,6)
(x+5)(x+5)=0 x=-5,-5 -5 is a repeated zero of the polynomial
