Given:

y = ( x - 1) ( x +5 ) 

Solution:

Since we cannot graph the given equation, what we can simply do is to solve for x. To do so we equate each factor to 0, then transpose the numerical value to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

( x - 1)
x - 1 = 0
x = 1

( x + 5 )
x + 5 = 0
x = -5

Final answer:

x = 1

x = -5
