This is not an equation. It's called an expression. (All equations contain an equal sign.)solving equations … y(x+2)(x+2)
Do I foil the parentheses first? distribute the y on both? multiply y with one, the distribute to the second parentheses?
For \(\displaystyle r \ne 0\)Let us say the equation is r(a+b)(a+b) = 0. How would I go about solving for a?
Ooo, they were supposed to have covered this before assigning homework on it. To learn what the Zero Product Property is, and how to use it to solve factored-polynomial equations, try here.Let us say the equation is r(a+b)(a+b) = 0. How would I go about solving for a?
