Answer:

x = 0 , x = 4 , x = 13

Explanation:

given

x³ - 17x² + 52x = 0 ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(x² - 17x + 52) = 0 ← factorise the quadratic

x(x - 4)(x - 13) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x - 13 = 0 ⇒ x = 13

solutions are x = 0 , x = 4 , x = 13
