Answer:
x = -8 or x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor ax² + bx + c, use AC method.
a times c is 1 × -24 = -24.
Factors of ac (-24) that add up to b (5) are 8 and -3.
Divide by a and reduce: 8/1 and -3/1.
Therefore, the factors are x + 8 and x − 3.
x² + 5x − 24 = 0
(x + 8) (x − 3) = 0
x = -8 or 3
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
123 - Use PEMDAS but since you have both division and multiplication you can just go from left to right
-12,3 ...................................
If it has rational coefients and is a polygon
if a+bi is a root then a-bi is also a root
the roots are -4 and 2+i
so then 2-i must also be a root
if the rots of a poly are r1 and r2 then the factors are
f(x)=(x-r1)(x-r2)
roots are -4 and 2+i and 2-i
f(x)=(x-(-4))(x-(2+i))(x-(2-i))
f(x)=(x+4)(x-2-i)(x-2+i)
expand
f(x)=x³-11x+20
