Let's solve the quadratic equation using factorization:
x²-9x -22= 0
In order to solve using this method, we should beforehand factorize the polynomial:
The middle number is -9 and the last number is -22.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks? Let's think about two numbers that add up to -9 and multiply together to -22...
These numbers will be -11 and 2:
-11 +2= 9
-11*2= -22
So the factorization is:
(x+2)*(x-11) = 0
That means:
x + 2 =0
and
x - 11 = 0
Solving the equations:
x= -2
x= 11
S= {-2, 11}
