Thanks. \(\displaystyle x(2x-1)(x+4) =0 real [/i]\) Click to expand... 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.
