Question

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.
x2 + 10x + 16 = 0

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

x + 2 = 0 or x + 8 = 0

x =
and x =

Answer 1

Explanation:

`x+2=0 \implies x=-2\\\\x+8=0 \implies x=-8`
