Question

Solve the equation using the Zero Product Property.

(X– 2) (2x – 7) (4x + 5) = 0
Enter your answers in the boxes as a solution set in order from least to
greatest

Answer 1

-1.25, 2, 3.5

Explanation:

(x-2)(2x-7)(4x+5)=0

(2x^2-7x-4x+14)(4x+5)=5

from now on you know that either

(2x^2-7x-4x+14)=0 or

(4x+5)=0

By solving the first eqation (2x^2-7x-4x+14)=0

you get x = 2 or 3.5

By solving the second equation (4x+5)=0

you get x = -1.25
