Question

find the roots of the factored polynomial: (x + 1)² write your answer as a list of values separated by commas. x =

Explanation:

Step1: Set factor to zero

To find roots, set \((x + 1)^2 = 0\).

Step2: Solve for x

Take square root of both sides: \(x + 1 = 0\) (since square root of 0 is 0). Then solve for \(x\): \(x = -1\). The root has multiplicity 2, but we list it once as per the question's format (list values, not considering multiplicity for the list).

Answer:

-1
