Question

F(x)= x^2 - 7x +12

The above equation is in standard form. Write the above equation in factored form
f(x) = (x-r1)(x-r2)


r1 represents first root, r2 represetnts second root


What are the roots?
Remember, x-r1 = 0 and x-r2=0

Answer 1

f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 4)

Explanation:

f(x)= x^2 - 7x +12 factors immediately into f(x) = (x - 3)(x - 4).

The roots are {3, 4}
