Question

x^2+6-7 solve the trinomial

Answer 1

should that be 6x?

Answer 2

Yes, sorry x^2+6x-7

Answer 3

I would recommend using the quadratic formula.

Answer 4

You would get x=-7 and x=1

Answer 5

you need 2 numbers whose product is -7 and sum +6
factors will be of the form

(a +/- a)(x +/- b)

Answer 6

thank you!

Answer 7

the numbers are +7 and -1

Answer 8

@cwrw238 please double check your answers.

Answer 9

x^2 + 6x - 7 = ( x+7)(x - 1)

Answer 10

@cwrw238 That's correct so far, but when you set (x+7)=0 and solve it, you get x=-7 and x=1

Answer 11

yes - i was only dealing with the factoring
when i said +7 and -1 i meant the 2 numbers which go into the parentheses

solutions are -7 and 1

Answer 12

- these are the solution to x^2 + 6x - 7 = 0 of course
