Question 12 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)
A product equals zero when at least one factor equals zero. The first factor, x² + 3x − 4, factors as (x + 4)(x − 1), giving roots −4 and 1. For x² − 4x + 29, the quadratic formula gives x = (4 ± √(−100))/2 = 2 ± 5i. Thus the roots are −4, 1, 2 + 5i, and 2 − 5i.
