Question

2. Write an equation in which the quadratic expression 2x^2 - 2x - 12 equals 0. Show the expression in factored form and explain what your solutions mean for the equation. Show your work.

Answer 1

Do you know how to factor?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

how do you factor?

Answer 4

si bc. every terms contain the 2 you can factorizing out and will get

2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

and now for you can factorizing the x^2 -x-6 so you can getting two numbers with sum equal -1 and product equal -6

suppose a and b will be these two numbers so than you can factorizing the x^2 -x -6 = (x-a)(x+b) than a>b bc. a-b need being equal -1

hope helped
