Question

Write the quadratic equation in factored form. Be sure to write the entire equation.

Answer 1

Glad they didn't have online homework when I was in school; what a pain to type this way.

$x^2 - 5x - 24 = 0$

We need two numbers that multiply to -24 and add to -5; it doesn't take too long to come up with -8 and 3.

$(x-8)(x+3) = 0$

That's the answer.
