Question

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? x^2-2x-24-0

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-4

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets put to work the well known quadratic equation:

$x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

Let us also, remember the given equation: x^2-2x-24=0

Where 'a' would be equals to 1, 'b' equals to -2 and c equals to -24.

The quadratic equations with those values is:

$\frac{2 +/- \sqrt{4+96} }{2}$

Where we obtain two values.

x1= -4

and x2= 6
