Sign In
x= 2
Calculate power and product
Add terms
x= -3
Calculate power and product
Add terms
x= -3.5+1.5i
Distribute 6
(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
(a * b)^m=a^m* b^m
Calculate power and product
i^2=- 1
a(- b)=- a * b
Add and subtract terms
f(x)= 0
Factor out x
Rearrange equation
Use the Zero Product Property
(II): LHS-7=RHS-7
Therefore, we have two possible values of x such that f(x)=0, x=0 and x=-7.
