equation.
(x−1)(x−2)2=0(x-1)(x-2)2=0
If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to
00
, the entire expression will be equal to
00.x−1=0x-1=0(x−2)2=0(x-2)2=0
Set the first factor equal to
00
and solve.
x=1x=1
Set the next factor equal to
00
and solve.
x=2x=2
The final solution is all the values that make
(x−1)(x−2)2=0(x-1)(x-2)2=0
true.
x=1,2x=1,2
