Q1. What is the value of x in the polynomial equation x^3 - 4x^2 + x = 0?

Solution:

Factor out x: x(x^2 - 4x + 1) = 0. Thus, x = 0 or solve x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0.

Q5. What is the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation y = x^2 - 4x + 4?

Solution:

The vertex can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a). Here, a = 1, b = -4, so x = 2. Substitute x back to find y: y = 0.

Q8. What is the value of x in the equation 3(x - 1) = 2x + 4?

Solution:

Step 1: Distribute: 3x - 3 = 2x + 4. Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides: x - 3 = 4. Step 3: Add 3 to both sides: x = 7.
