Answer:
Explanation:
factor further
and as you put it:
in the instructions, it says that 1 is a zero.
this is because when x=1
you will see that the first section (x-1) will be (1-1) which is 0
when you multiply 0 by anything, it is 0
so the entire thing would then be zero
(x-1) can not be factored further
but
can
factor into
use quadratic formula
then put it back into equation
