Do you need the factors or the x-intercepts??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think its factorable, you are going to have to use the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in my book it jats says solve, but its under quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the Quadratic Formula to get the x-intercepts so.. \[\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}\] a = 1 b=10 c=26 so plug in the numbers into the formula and you get \[\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4(1)(26)}}{2}\] simplify the expression in the radical and you get \[\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-4}}{2}\] simplify and you get \[\frac{-1 \pm 2i}{2}\] Those are the x intercepts but i forgot how you turn those into factors.. Maybe somebody else can finish
