Advanced Math practice question
Which of the following are all the solutions of x(x − 7) = 0?
- A. 0 and 7Correct
- B. 7 only
- C. 0 and −7
- D. −7 only
Answer: A. 0 and 7
A product is 0 when either factor is 0: x = 0 or x − 7 = 0.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 7 only
- x = 0 also makes the product 0.
- C. 0 and −7
- x = −7 gives (−7)(−14) = 98.
- D. −7 only
- Neither the sign nor the count is right.
