– b
= (a + b)(a – b) to factor x
– 4.
Use the identity a
 
 
Use the Zero Product Property.
 
 
Therefore, the roots are –2 and 2.
 
43. 
 
SOLUTION:  
Factor out –1.

Now factor 8x
– 46x + 30.
 
Here, a = 8, b = –46 and c = 30.
 
ac = 8(30) = 240
 
Find two factors of 240 whose sum is –46.
 
–40(–6) = 240 and –40 + (–6) = –46
 
Write –46x as –40x + (–6x).
 
 
Factor 8x from the first two terms and –6 from the last two terms.
