Question

1.Consider the function f(x) = x^2 - 10x – 24. Given that one of the solutions of the function is x = -2, what is the other solution of the function? ​

Answer 1

let

f(x) = x^2 - 10x – 24=0

x^2 - 10x – 24=0

x^2 -12x+2x-24=0

x(x-12)+2((x-12)=0

(x+2)(x-12)=0

either

x=-2

or

x=12

Explanation:

therefore the other solution of the function is f(12).
