7x2 + 35x - 252 = 0

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

i guess u need to factorise this. Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. but im not really sure how.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would first take the 7 out to get 7(x^2 + 5x - 36)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now what times what = - 36 but adds up to 5? 4 and -9 so it factors out to be 7(x+4)(x-9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. -4 B. -7 C. 4 D. 9 E. -9 F. 252 those are all the chose and i have to pick two . soo 7 and 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Quadratic formula\[x=(-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac})\div 2a\]
