Question

use the factoring to find the roots of the following:
1.x^2-5x-6=0
2.3x^2-7x+4=0
3.4x^2+11x-3=0
4.x^2+8x+12+0
5.x^2+x-20=0

i need your help

Answer 1

When factoring you need to find 2 numbers that multiply together to give the constant (term involving no x) and which also add together to give the coefficient of x.
The easiest method to use is to find all factors of the constant and then see which of them add to make the coefficient of x. Does this help?

thank you for the information :)
