Let's solve this by using the quadratic formula:
Note that we only use the coefficients so a=12, b=-14, and c=-6.
Plug values in the quadratic equation:
And so by evaluating those values we obtain:
Now we have two answers which are our factors one where we add another where we subtract and so:
First factor:
Second Factor:
And so your factors are
meaning that those are your roots/x-intercepts.
