Question

If the factors of a polynomial are x5 and x + 2, what values of x make that
polynomial O?

Answer 1

x = 5, x=-2

Explanation:

The factors are x-5 and x+2:

Set each factor equal to zero and then solve each of them for x to find out what values of x make the polynomial equal to zero.

x-5 = 0 , x+2 = 0

x=0+5 , x=0-2

x=5 , x= -2....
