Difficulty: Medium
About this MCQ
Medium ACT item. Correct choice: D. x = 0 or x = 1.
- A. x = 1 or x = 0
Why not A: “x = 1 or x = 0” is not x = 0 or x = 1.
- B. x = 0 or x = -1
Why not B: “x = 0 or x = -1” is not x = 0 or x = 1.
- C. x = 0 or x = 2
Why not C: “x = 0 or x = 2” is not x = 0 or x = 1.
- D. x = 0 or x = 1 ✓
Correct answer
D. x = 0 or x = 1
Explanation
x = 0 or x = 1 (option D) is the accepted answer to “Solve for x: x² - 1x + 0 = 0”. Option A (x = 1 or x = 0) is a different value from x = 0 or x = 1. Option B (x = 0 or x = -1) is a different value from x = 0 or x = 1. Option C (x = 0 or x = 2) is a different value from x = 0 or x = 1. Keep x = 0 or x = 1 as the ACT fact for this stem.
