Question

Find the roots of the function f(x)=x2+6x

Answer 1

-6 & 0

Explanation:

x² + 6x = 0

x(x + 6) = 0

x = 0 or x + 6 = 0

x = 0, x = -6

Answer 2

The roots are 0, -6

Explanation:

f(x)=x^2+6x

Set the function equal to zero to find the roots

0 = x^2 +6x

Factor an x

0 = x(x+6)

Using the zero product property, set each term equal to zero

x=0 x+6 =0

x=0 x = -6

The roots are 0, -6
