Question

Solve the polynomial equation by
factoring.

2x³-5x²-3x = 0

Answer 1

Explanation:

x(2
`x^(2)`-5x-3)

first answer is

x=0

use bottoms up method for the second equation by multiplying a times c or 2 times -3 in this case

then if it divides evenly simplify if not put it in front of the x and then solve

x^2-5x-6

(x-6/2) (x+1/2)

(x-3)(2x+1)

x=3 x=-1/2
