Solution for (u+4)(u-2)= equation:


Simplifying
(u + 4)(u + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + u)(u + -2) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(4 + u)(-2 + u) = 0

Multiply (4 + u) * (-2 + u)
(4(-2 + u) + u(-2 + u)) = 0
((-2 * 4 + u * 4) + u(-2 + u)) = 0
((-8 + 4u) + u(-2 + u)) = 0
(-8 + 4u + (-2 * u + u * u)) = 0
(-8 + 4u + (-2u + u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 4u + -2u = 2u
(-8 + 2u + u2) = 0

Solving
-8 + 2u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-4 + -1u)(2 + -1u) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-4 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + -1u = 0 Solving -4 + -1u = 0 Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + 4 + -1u = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + -1u = 0 + 4 -1u = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 -1u = 4 Divide each side by '-1'. u = -4 Simplifying u = -4

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(2 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + -1u = 0 Solving 2 + -1u = 0 Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -1u = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -1u = 0 + -2 -1u = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -1u = -2 Divide each side by '-1'. u = 2 Simplifying u = 2

Solution

u = {-4, 2}
