Answer:
1. 8
2. 4
3a. -6 and -4
3b. -1/2 and -5
Step-by-step explanation:
3a explanation:
Factor x^2+10x+24
(x+4)(x+6)
Set the factors equal to 0
x + 4 = 0
x + 6 = 0
-4 and -6
3b.
Factor left side of equation.
(2x+1)(x+5)=0
Set factors equal to 0.
2x + 1 = 0 or
x + 5 = 0
x = −1/2
x = -5
-5 and -1/2
