NO

#

no*

#

null factor law only works when mn = 0

#

when you have two numbers that multiply to give zero

#

at least one of them has to be zero

#

when mn equals anything else

#

theres an infinite amount of pairs that can satisfy the equation

Sorry if i bothered you but like i can't do anything else if the equation is equal to number? The only thing i can do is to make it equal to zero and then solve it?

#

must use quadratic formula

#

or other methods

#

null factor law wont work here

loud iron
#

Can i use a quadratic formula if it equals a number?

sharp valley
#

well if it equals a number

#

say your equation is

#

2x^2 + 3x + 5 = 7

#

you have to bring the 7 over

#

because the form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0

It's true that if any 2 numbers in a multiplication is 0 then the whole product is 0, but it's not true that if any 2 numbers is -1 then the product is -1

Got it thanks mate

#

You probably already know but your equation can be written as (x+1)^2=0

#

At which point you can use null factor magic

#

irrelevant to what the other guy is saying but one of your answers in this case are incorrect since if x=-3 then x*(x+2) = 3

loud iron
#

Did it

#

So at the end i can only do that when the equation is equal to 0catKing

#

this is linear

balmy fossil
#

no the function x^2 +2x+1 is not linear

#

what you have is the graph of the solution

#

which there is just a single number

#

-1

Isn't x^2 is like this (U)

its a joke

#

man

#

and my statment is right this is linear

#

you cope

Simplify [(x⁴y‐¹)²/x⁵y‐³]² × (x‐²y⁶)/2(xy³)‐² 26 y⅓/x½ ÷ (x½y⅔/x³y⁴)

Hello

#

$x^2+2x+1 = (x+1)^2$

quadratic equation

#

what abt it

#

oh this is in reference to the OP
