Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
1)
x2 = 5x + 24
x 2 - 5x - 24 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 3) =0
x-8=0 x+3=0
x=8
x = -3
x = {8, -3}
2)
y 2 =16
y 2 - 16 = 0
(y + 4)(y - 4) =0
y+4=0 y-4=0
y = -4
y=4
y = {-4, 4}
3)
c 2 - 12 = c
c 2 - 12 - c =0
c 2 - c - 12 = 0
(c + 3)(c - 4) = 0
c+3=0 c-4=0
c = -3
c=4
c = {-3, 4}
4)
x 2 - 1296 = 0
(x + 36)(x - 36) =0
x 2 - 1296 = 0
(x + 36)(x - 36) =0
x + 36 = 0
x - 36 = 0
x = -36
x = 36
x = {-36, 36}
5)
3x+6 = 3x2 - 3x 2
0 = 2x 2 - 6x - 8
0 = 2(x 2 - 3x - 4)
2(x - 4)(x + 1) =0
X4=0
x +1 =0
X=4
x= -1
x = {-1, 4}
