Use the factorization to find the values of x for which P (x) = 0. (x - 1) (x + 1) (x + 5) = 0 x - 1 = 0, so x = x + 1 = 0, so x = x + 5 = 0, so x =

Naima Parsons · Answer 1

given (x - 1) (x + 1) (x + 5) = 0

that is a product of factors equating to zero

to solve equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
