Question Factor the expression −2(α+1) Evaluate −2α−2Solution −2(α+1) Show Solution Find the roots α=−1 Evaluate −2α−2To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 −2α−2=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign −2α=0+2Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression −2α=2Change the signs on both sides of the equation 2α=−2Divide both sides 22α=2−2Divide the numbers α=2−2Solution More Steps Evaluate 2−2Reduce the numbers 1−1Calculate −1 α=−1 Show Solution
