Answer:
x = 1 or x = -4 or x = -6 thus d: is your answer
Explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^3 + 9 x^2 + 14 x - 24 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
(x - 1) (x + 4) (x + 6) = 0
Split into three equations:
x - 1 = 0 or x + 4 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x = 1 or x + 4 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides:
x = 1 or x = -4 or x + 6 = 0
Subtract 6 from both sides:
Answer: x = 1 or x = -4 or x = -6
