How can I solve (x+3)(x+4)=0 and 2x(x-3)=15????
-----------
(x+3)(x+4)=0
If the product = 0, either
x+3 = 0 --> x = -3
---
or x+4 = 0 --> x = -4
==================================
2x(x-3)=15
2x^2 - 6x - 15 = 0

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:



For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=156 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .




Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 4.6224989991992, -1.6224989991992. Here's your graph:
