(x−1)x3(x−2)(x−6)×96=0
Multiply the terms
More Steps

Multiply the terms
(x−1)x3(x−2)(x−6)×96
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
(x−1)×96x3(x−2)(x−6)
Multiply the first two terms
96x3(x−1)(x−2)(x−6)
96x3(x−1)(x−2)(x−6)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x3(x−1)(x−2)(x−6)=0
Separate the equation into 4 possible cases
x3=0x−1=0x−2=0x−6=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−1=0x−2=0x−6=0
