Answers

Complexity=1, Mode=simple

Factor the expression and solve for the zeros. Separate answers with commas. Example: x=-3/2,2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

x² + 8x + 7 = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get (x + 1)(x + 7) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

x + 1 = 0
x = -1

x + 7 = 0
x = -7

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

x² + 8x - 20 = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get (x + 10)(x - 2) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

x + 10 = 0
x = -10

x - 2 = 0
x = 2

Complexity=3, Mode=prefix

Factor the expression and solve for the zeros. Separate answers with commas. Example: x=-3/2,2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

^-3x³ - 9x² + 84x = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get ^-3x(x + 7)(x - 4) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

^-3x = 0
x = 0

x + 7 = 0
x = -7

x - 4 = 0
x = 4

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

x³ - 19x² + 34x = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get x(x - 2)(x - 17) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

x = 0
x = 0

x - 2 = 0
x = 2

x - 17 = 0
x = 17

Complexity=3, Mode=frontConst

Factor the expression and solve for the zeros. Separate answers with commas. Example: x=-3/2,2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

2x² - 5x - 25 = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get (x - 5)(2x + 5) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

x - 5 = 0
x = 5

2x + 5 = 0
x = -5/2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

^-4x² - 2x + 12 = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get ^-2(x + 2)(2x - 3) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

x + 2 = 0
x = -2

2x - 3 = 0
x = 3/2

Complexity=4, Mode=frontConst

Factor the expression and solve for the zeros. Separate answers with commas. Example: x=-3/2,2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

4x³ + 16x² - 33x = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get x(2x + 11)(2x - 3) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

x = 0
x = 0

2x + 11 = 0
x = -11/2

2x - 3 = 0
x = 3/2

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

6x³ - 46x² + 68x = 0

x =

Solution
Factor to get 2x(x - 2)(3x - 17) = 0

Now solve each fragment for 0

2x = 0
x = 0

x - 2 = 0
x = 2

3x - 17 = 0
x = 17/3
