Solve and explain: 25t^3 + 25t^2 + 21t + 21
factor by grouping
(25t^3 + 25t^2) + (21t + 21)
25t²(t + 1) + 21(t + 1)
(25t² + 21)(t + 1) ← distributive property
takes practice, it do.
♣♦
25t^3 + 25t^2 + 21t + 21 = 0
t(25t^2 + 25t + 21 + 21) = 0
t = - 42
2. (25t^2 + 25t) = 0
5t(t + 5) = 0
5t = 0
t = 0
3. t + 5 = 0
t = - 5
