Answer:

5x² - 10x - 15 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the roots are x = 3 and x = - 1, then the factors are

(x - 3) and (x + 1) and the quadratic is the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = a(x - 3)(x + 1) ← a is a multiplier

Here a = 5, thus

f(x) = 5(x - 3)(x + 1) ← expand factors using FOIL

     = 5(x² - 2x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis by 5

     = 5x² - 10x - 15

Thus equation is

5x² - 10x - 15 = 0

Solve the following equation <br><br>6x-1=3 (2x+4)-1
DIA [1.3K]
6x - 1 = 3(2x + 4) - 1
Distribute
6x - 1 = 6x + 12 - 1
Combine like terms
6x - 1 = 6x + 11
Add 1 and subtract 6x from each side
0 = 12
The equation has no real solution
