Question

Given the quadratic equation below, determine which situation it could represent? x2 -4x = 60

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is x = 10 and x = -6. This quadratic could be represented in factored form as (x - 10)(x + 6) or on a graph with x-intercepts at (10,0) and (-6,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the quadratic, write the quadratic in standard form and factor the equation.

x² - 4x = 60

x² - 4x - 60 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 6) = 0

x = 10 and x = -6
