  1. 2x(x + 3) = 0 (zero-product property)

    2x = 0 or x + 3 = 0

    x = 0 or x = -3 <===ANSWER

    2x^2 + 9x - 5 = 0 (factor)

    (2x - 1)(x + 5) = 0 (zero-product property)

    2x - 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

    2x = 1 or x = -5

    x = 1/2 or x = -5 <===ANSWER


  2. The first one is factored and the answer is x=0 or x = -3

    2nd is (x+5)(2x-1) so x= -5 or x=1/2

  3. 2x(x+3) = 0 Zero product property

    2x = 0 Divide

    x = 0

    x+3 = 0 Subtract 3 from both sides

    x = -3

    2x^2 + 9x - 5 = 0 Factor using AC method

    2x^2 + 10x - x - 5 = 0 Factor 2x^2 + 10x and -x - 5

    2x(x+5) - 1(x+5) Pull out x+5

    (x+5) What is left when you pull out the x+5? 2x-1

    (2x-1)(x+5) = 0 Zero Product Property

    2x - 1 = 0

    x = 1/2

    x + 5 = 0

    x = -5

    Plug all the answers into the original equation and check for any extraneous solutions.


  4. Question Number 1 :

    Question Number 1 :

    For this equation ( 2*x  ) * ( x + 3 ) = 0 , answer the following questions :

    A. Use factorization to find the root of the equation !



    Answer Number 1 :

    First, we must turn this equation ( 2*x  ) * ( x + 3 ) = 0 into a*x^2+b*x+c=0 form.

    ( 2*x  ) * ( x + 3 ) = 0 , expand the left hand side.

    <=> 2*x  * ( x + 3 )   +   0 * ( x + 3 ) = 0

    <=> 2*x^2 + 6*x  = 0 , move 0 from the right hand side to the left hand side.

    <=> 2*x^2 + 6*x  - 0 = 0

    <=> 2*x^2 + 6*x  = 0

    The equation 2*x^2 + 6*x  = 0 is already in a*x^2+b*x+c=0 form.

    So we can imply that the value of a = 2, b = 6, c = 0.

    1A. Use factorization to find the root of the equation !

      2*x^2 + 6*x  = 0

      <=> 2 * ( x  ) * ( x + 3 ) = 0

      So we have the answers x1 = 0 and x2 = -3

    Question Number 2 :

    For this equation 2*x^2 + 9*x - 5 = 0 , answer the following questions :

    A. Use factorization to find the root of the equation !

    Answer Number 2 :

    The equation 2*x^2 + 9*x - 5 = 0 is already in a*x^2+b*x+c=0 form.

    By matching the constant position, we can derive that the value of a = 2, b = 9, c = -5.

    2A. Use factorization to find the root of the equation !

      2*x^2 + 9*x - 5 = 0

      <=> ( 2x - 1 ) * ( x + 5 ) = 0

      So we have the answers x1 = 0.5 and x2 = -5


  5. the first one is already factored:

    2x(x+3) = 0

    meaning 2x = 0 or x+3 =0

    so x=0 or -3

    2x² +9x -5 =0

    (2x-1)(x+5)= 0

    2x-1 =0 or x+5=0

    x=1/2 or -5

  6. this first is factored as far as it can go.

    the second is (2x-1)(x+5)
