Question

Solution to figure out a quadratic equation:
3, -2. Show work.

Answer 1

if the solutions are 3 and -2, it means that the quadratic was like this:
(x-3)(x+2)=0
expand that.

Answer 2

If those are the roots then the factors are:
(x-3)(x+2)
Expand the brakcets
\[y=x ^{2}-x-6\]

Answer 3

cocnutshake, your equation is right, but y HAS to be equal to 0.

Answer 4

So once you have y=x^2-x-6, how do you get Y to =0

Answer 5

no no, use my equation.

Answer 6

that's what i meant oops..

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

if the solution to the quadratic is 3, -2 it means that the quadratic was
(x-3)(x+2)=0,
only then, if you substitute x = 3 or x =-2 you will get LHS = RHS, which means only for this particular quadratic, 3,-2 are the solutions.

Answer 9

thank you
