Find the zeros of the function. f(x) = x^2 + 9x + 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you factor that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -5 and 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that's right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to check you can graph it on the claculator. but factoring is the right way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did i got -5 and 4 again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

check again, im getting -5 and -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What @ganeshie8 said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factoriz it like ? so -5 and 4 not will add you never 9 this is true that their product is 20 but their sum need adding 9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@babydoll332 check it these numbers please because need adding like sum 9 and like product 20 so hence you will can factoriz it like (x +5)(x+4)=0 and just than you will get the originaly quadratic equation x^2 +9x +20 =0 hope so much that this will help you understanding all right good luck bye
