Brainlist to whoever shows me how to solve this step by step.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-4, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficient (+2) is the sum of the constants in the binomial factors of the equation, and the constant term (-8) is their product.

Since you're familiar with the divisors of 8, you know that the two factors of -8 that total +2 are -2 and +4. These are the constants in the binomial factors:

  f(x) = x^2 +2x -8

  f(x) = (x -2)(x +4)

The roots of f(x) are the values of x that make these factors be zero. They are x=2 and x=-4.

The roots of f(x) are -4 and 2.

_____

Above is the solution by factoring. We can also "complete the square" to find the roots. Anytime we're looking for roots, we want the values of x that make f(x) = 0.

  x^2 +2x -8 = 0

  x^2 +2x = 8 . . . . . add the opposite of the constant

  x^2 +2x +1 = 8 +1 . . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient: (2/2)² = 1

  (x +1)² = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . write as squares

  x +1 = ±√9 = ±3 . . . . . . take the square root

  x = -1 ± 3 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1

The roots are x=-4, x=2.
