\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3%2Bx%5E2=0\" Start with the given equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%28x%2B1%29=0\" Factor out the GCF \"x%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now set each factor equal to zero:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2=0\" or \"x%2B1=0\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0\" or \"x=-1\" Now solve for x in each case\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our answers are \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"x=0\" or \"x=-1\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice if we graph \"y=x%5E3%2Bx%5E2\" we can see that the roots are \"x=0\" and \"x=-1\" . So this visually verifies our answer.\r
