Question

Solve the quadratic equation.

(x + 4)(x + 1) = 0

Answer 1

x = -4 or x = -1

Explanation:

The equation is in factored form, so use the zero product property to solve the equation:

x + 4 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

x = -4 or x = -1

Answer 2

x= - 4, x= - 1

Explanation:

(x+4)(x+1)=0 means that

x+4=0 or x+1=0

x= - 4, x= - 1
