For this case we have the following polynomial:
[tex] 0 = x ^ 2 + 8x + 15
[/tex]
We can rewrite the polynomial by factoring the expression.
We have then:
[tex] (x + 3) (x + 5) = 0
[/tex]
From here, we look for the solutions of the polynomial.
We have then:
Solution 1:
[tex] x + 3 = 0
x = -3
[/tex]
Solution 2:
[tex] x + 5 = 0
x = -5
[/tex]
Answer:
The solutions of the polynomial are given by:
[tex] x = -3
x = -5 [/tex]
