Answer to Problem 9.17EP

  x=4,5

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

The function provided is (2x+8)(4x20)

Formula used :

For some of the equations the solution can be found by factoring. If the factored form of a quadratic equation has real numbers, it will have roots.

  (xh)(xk)=0

In the factored form it is assumed that at least one of the factors is equal to 0. Therefore, if product if two factors is 0 then at least one of the factors must be zero, this is known as the Zero Product Property

Either,

  (xh)=0

Or,

  (xk)=0

Calculation :

  (2x+8)(4x20)

The above expression is in factored form.

Either,

  (2x+8)=0

Or,

  (4x20)=0

Simplifying.

  x=4

The other factor.

  x=5

The above expression can be solved to get x=4,5

We get two roots x=4,5 as (2x+8)(4x20) is not a perfect square.
