olve the factored quadratic equation (x−5)(x+3)=0.(1 point)The smaller solution is x=, and the larger solution is x=

Answer 1

To solve the factored quadratic equation \((x - 5)(x + 3) = 0\), we can set each factor equal to zero.

1. Set the first factor equal to zero: \[ x - 5 = 0 \implies x = 5 \]

2. Set the second factor equal to zero: \[ x + 3 = 0 \implies x = -3 \]

The solutions are \(x = 5\) and \(x = -3\).

The smaller solution is \(x = -3\), and the larger solution is \(x = 5\).
