Question

Find the value of the greater root of x^2 + 10x + 24x = 0 a) -6 b) -4 c) 4 d) 6

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

$x^2+10x+24=0$

We can factor:

$(x+6)(x+4)=0$

By the Zero Product Property:

$x+6=0\text{ or } x+4=0$

Solve:

$x=-6\text{ or } x=-4$

-4 is greater than -6, so -4 is the greater root.

Our answer is B.
