Provide an appropriate response.Explain why a cubic equation of the form ax3 + bx2 + cx = 0 must have 0 in its solution set.

What will be an ideal response?


Explanations will vary. One possibility: The equation has 0 in its solution set because the left side has a monomial factor of x and the right side is equal to zero. By the zero-factor property, the equation is true when any factor is equal to zero. The monomial x obviously equals zero when x = 0. Thus, the equation has 0 in its solution set.
