you have a quadratic equation that can be factored, like x2+5x+6=0.This can be factored into(x+2)(x+3)=0.
So the solutions are x=-2 and x=-3.
2.
<span><span>1. Try first to solve the equation by factoring. Be sure that your equation is in standard form (ax2+bx+c=0) before you start your factoring attempt. Don't waste a lot of time trying to factor your equation; if you can't get it factored in less than 60 seconds, move on to another method.
</span><span>2. Next, look at the side of the equation containing the variable. Is that side a perfect square? If it is, then you can solve the equation by taking the square root of both sides of the equation. Don't forget to include a ± sign in your equation once you have taken the square root.
3.</span>Next, if the coefficient of the squared term is 1 and the coefficient of the linear (middle) term is even, completing the square is a good method to use.
4.<span>Finally, the quadratic formula will work on any quadratic equation. However, if using the formula results in awkwardly large numbers under the radical sign, another method of solving may be a better choice.</span></span>
The point that would not be effected would be (15,0).
The other point are located off of the axis in the coordinate plain and would be flipped when reflected over the x-axis. However, this point, because it is located directly on the x-axis, would not be changed as a result of a reflection across the x-axis. It would reflect onto itself.
The answer would be 48.85
