Help what is x^2-2x-24=0 I know you can use quadratic formula I just forgot how examples always help :)

Answers

There are another way to solve a quadratic equation we call, Sum and product.

Let's see how we can do this...

x^2-2x-24=0

Sum=-(b)/(a)

Product=(c)/(a)

therefore

Sum=-((-2))/(1)=2

Product=(-24)/(1)=-24

now we have to pick up 2 numbers that the sum should be 2 and the product should be -24, we just have to think a little.

Let's try -3 and 8, for example.

8+(-3)=5

8*(-3)=-24

Doesn't work.

Let's try now 4 and -6.

4+(-6)=-2

4*(-6)=-24

Can you see here, that we have to change the signal?!

therefore

Let's try -4 and 6

6+(-4)=2

6*(-4)=-24

Sum=2

and

Product=-24

Them it works.

\boxed{\boxed{x_1=-4~~and~~x_2=6}}
x^2-2x-24=0\n\na=1;\ b=-2;\ c=-24\n\n\Delta=b^2-4ac\n\n\Delta=(-2)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-24)=4+96=100\n\nx_1=(-b-\sqrt\Delta)/(2a);\ x_2=(-b+\sqrt\Delta)/(2a)\n\nx_1=(2-√(100))/(2\cdot1)=(2-10)/(2)=(-8)/(2)=-4\n\nx_2=(2+√(100))/(2\cdot1)=(2+10)/(2)=(12)/(2)=6
