CPM Homework Help : A2C Problem 8-163

Use the Zero Product Property to solve each equation in parts (a) and (b) below. Homework Help ✎
1. x(2x + 1)(3x − 5) = 0
2. (x − 3)(x − 2) = 12
3. Write an equation and show how you can use the Zero Product Property to solve it.

Answer (a):

$\textit{x}=0,\,-\frac{1}{2},\,\frac{5}{3}$

Hint (b):

Multiply, subtract 12 from both sides, and re-factor before using the Zero Product Property.

Hint (c):

See parts (a) and (b) for examples.
