(x+3)(x+4)=0
x−3=0 x+4=0
x=3 x=−4
While using the Zero Product Property to find the values of x that make the quadratic equation (x+3)(x+4) equals 0, Oliver completed the work provided in the table. Is Oliver’s work accurate?(1 point)
Responses
No, he should have a third column where he should set x=0.
No, he should have a third column where he should set x equals 0 .
Yes, the work is accurate.
Yes, the work is accurate.
No, x−3=0 in the second row should be x+3=0.
No, x minus 3 equals 0 in the second row should be x plus 3 equals 0 .
No, x+4=0 in the second row should be x−4=0.
No, x plus 4 equals 0 in the second row should be x minus 4 equals 0 .

Oliver's work is incorrect. The expression he factored, \((x+3)(x+4) = 0\), leads to the equations \(x + 3 = 0\) and \(x + 4 = 0\) when using the Zero Product Property. It seems he incorrectly wrote \(x - 3 = 0\) instead of \(x + 3 = 0\).
Therefore, the correct responses about the accuracy of his work would be:
This option points out the correct mistake in his work and indicates a misunderstanding of the factorization.
