They can not, there are only 2 sides and they probably flipped it different ways. They got 'lucky'.
D, because the sum is no more than 28 so it could be equal or less than.
Hello :
x²-2x-24 =( x²-2x+1)-1-24
= (x-1)² -25 ..... ( vertex form)
<span>. Vertex: (1, -25);
intercepts: x = 6, -4 because :
</span>f(x) = 0..... (x-1)² -25 =0
(x-1)² = 5²
x-1=5 or x-1 = -5
x=6 or x=-4
