leading coefficient is one so i would apply *headphone method*
find two number if you multiply them you should get product of AC and if you add or subtract them you should get middle term b
\[\huge\rm Ax^2 +Bx+C=0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i'll try that

I"m getting (-2,-3)
Nnesha (nnesha):
-2 times -3 = 6
-2 -3 =-5
when you multiply them you should get product of AC which is what in this equation ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2-3
Nnesha (nnesha):
nope
Nnesha (nnesha):
what is a and c in that equation ?
