Answer:

See below, please.

Explanation:

Using the zero product property, we can set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

(x² - 9)(x + 4) = 0

(x² - 9) = 0 or (x + 4) = 0

For the first factor, we can factor it further as the difference of squares:

(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0

So, either (x + 3) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0, giving us:

x = -3, x = 3, or x = -4

Therefore, the values of x for which (x² - 9)(x + 4) = 0 are -3, 3, and -4.
