26. 2x^2 +4x -10 = 0 (-4 + - (root(4^2 - 4*2*-10)))/2*2 =
(-4 + - (root(96)))/4
(-4 + (root(96)))/4 ≈ 1.45
(-4 - (root(96)))/4 ≈ -3.45
27. f(x) = 0 when any of the components that multiply together equal 0 for this function therefore x -2 = 0 x +3 = 0 x -5 = 0 so f(x) = 0 when x = 2, -3 or 5
28. It looks like it shows you how to do it
The completed factor is (7x+2) (x+5)
I think it’s p=36 because you have to do the opposite on both sides..
So..
q=-12
P/-12=-3
+12 *12
P=36
