Simplifying
x
3 + 3x
2 + -4x = 0
Reorder the terms:
-4x + 3x
2 + x
3 = 0
Solving
-4x + 3x
2 + x
3 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'x'.
x(-4 + 3x + x
2) = 0
Factor a trinomial.
x((-4 + -1x)(1 + -1x)) = 0
Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(-4 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + -1x = 0 Solving -4 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + 4 + -1x = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 4 -1x = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 -1x = 4 Divide each side by '-1'. x = -4 Simplifying x = -4
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1x = 0 Solving 1 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -1 -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1x = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 1 Simplifying x = 1
Solution
x = {0, -4, 1}
