Question

PLZZ HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the solutions of x2 + 10x + 16 = 0?
Write the equation in standard form.
Factor the polynomial.
Apply the zero product property.
Solve the resulting equations.
1.x2 + 10x + 16 = 0
2.(x + 2)(x + 8) = 0
3.x + 2 = 0 or x + 8 = 0
4.x =_____ and x = ______

Answer 1

-2, -8 give me 5 stars and thanks me

Answer 2

x=-2 or x= -8.

Explanation:

We have the equation

`x^2+10x+16=0`

To factor the polynomial we search two numbers that multiplied are 16 and added are 10. In this case, 8 and 2:

(x+2)(x+8)=0.

As we have a product equal to 0, one of the factors needs to be 0. Then,

x+2 = 0 or x+8 = 0

x = -2 or x = -8.
