Answer (3)

Question : What is the solution set of x^2 -5x -24 =0? Simplify fully please. Answer : first, factor the equation : x 2 − 5 x − 24 = 0 ( x − 8 ) ( x + 3 ) = 0 x − 8 = 0 ∨ x + 3 = 0 x = 8 ∨ x = − 3

x^2 - 5x - 24 = 0 (x + 3)(x - 8) x = -3 and x = 8

The solution set of the equation x 2 − 5 x − 24 = 0 is { 8 , − 3 } . This was found by factoring the quadratic equation and solving each factor. The factors are ( x − 8 ) and ( x + 3 ) .
