Can you help my daughter with this problem?
Thanks.
\(\displaystyle x(2x-1)(x+4) =0 real
[/i]\)

Assuming those parts are multiplied

use the fact that

If A * B * C = 0

then either A=0 and/or B = 0 and/or C=0

This should give you three solutions.

Your daughter should post the problems herself - showing her original work. That way we would know where to begin to help her - saves lot of time.
 
using the zero product property, set each factor equal to 0 and solve each equation for x.



double honors math ... is that like double secret probation?
