solve over ℝ: (x-1)(x^2+1)=0

⚠ (x-1)(x^2+1)=0 is read as (x-1)*(x^2+1)=0: use (...)*(...) for multiplication, use (...)^(...) for a power
Let's solve in ℝ: (x -1)·(x2 + 1) = 0
A product is zero if and only if one of its factors is zero: we solve each factor equal to 0
⇥Let's solve in ℝ: x -1 = 0
⇥Solution found: x = 1
⇥Let's solve in ℝ: x2 + 1 = 0
⇥ x2 = -1
⇥In ℝ, a square is never negative: no real number has -1 as its square
⇥Solution: x ∈ ∅
▶Solution:   x = 1
