x^2-2x-6=74 solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 and -8

OpenStudy (yuki):

\[x^2 -2x -80 =0\]

OpenStudy (yuki):

then you factor it

OpenStudy (yuki):

it becomes (x-10)(x+8) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-10)*(x+8)=0 so, x1=10 and x2=-8

OpenStudy (yuki):

by the zero product property, x-10 = 0 or x+8 =0 so x =10 or -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, better option. take out your CalC and solve it :P as i am doing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my calculator doesnt do this stuff

OpenStudy (yuki):

chatndia is right. if you put it in your calculator it gives you the solutions right away. go to "Polynomial" and solve. or graph it and find the x-intercepts .
