Help me please
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
Plug in y = 0 and solve for x
\[\large y - x^2 = -11x + 24\]
\[\large 0 - x^2 = -11x + 24\]
\[\large -x^2 = -11x + 24\]
\[\large -x^2+x^2 = -11x + 24+x^2\]
\[\large 0 = x^2-11x+24\]
\[\large x^2-11x+24 = 0\]
I'll let you finish up

What do i do next i am lost sorry
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
factoring is the next step
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know how to do that

find two numbers that multiply to 24 and add to -11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you do this one and i next question is that ok
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what two numbers multiply to 24 and add to -11?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
list out the factors of 24 and see which two add to -11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am lost

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
list out all the possible ways to multiply to 24
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so you'll have 1*24, 2*12, etc etc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok. 3x8= 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x12=24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4x6=24

6x4=24
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good, notice how 3+8 = 11, 2+12 = 14, 4+6 = 10
none of these results are -11
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so how do we fix that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know how
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well notice how
-1 times -24 = +24 or just 24
and how
-2 times -12 = +24 or just 24
etc etc

-6x24=-24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is this the answers x - 3 = 0 or x - 8 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or this one x = 3 or x = 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is answers B
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good, x^2 - 11x + 24 factors to (x-3)(x-8)

so its B

And can you help me on this one Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
[9.02] What are the solutions of x2 − 3x − 28 = 0?
x = 4, x = 7
x = −4, x = −7
x = 4, x = −7
x = −4, x = 7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is this right x^2-3x-28=0
(x+4)(x-7)=0
x+4=0
x=-4
x-7=0
x=7
So, x could be -4 or 7.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
perfect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it this one x = −4, x = 7 or this x = 4, x = −7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you tell me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think its this one x = 4, x = −7
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
but you said "So, x could be -4 or 7."
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know one of them
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
one of them has x=4, the other has x =-4
so clearly they are different
