Answer:

Explanation:

5) n² + 8n - 20 = 0

Sum = 8

Product = -20

Factors = 10 , (-2) {10+(-2) = 8 and 10*(-2) = -20}

n² + 10n - 2n -20 = 0

n(n + 10) - 2(n + 10) = 0

(n + 10)(n -2) = 0

n + 10 = 0 ; n -2 = 0

n = -10 ; n = 2

Roots are : -10 , 2

6) x² + 10x = 0

x(x + 10) = 0

x = 0 ; x + 10 = 0

x = 0 ; x = -10

Roots: x = 0, -10
