Question

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential roots of f(x) = 2x2 + 2x – 24.

–4, –3, 2, 3, 4

Which are actual roots of f(x)

Answer 1

-4 AND 3

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is 3 and (-4).

Explanation:

We are given an equation 2x² + 2x – 24.

Let us assume that the equation is equal to zero.

2x² + 2x – 24 = 0

Now, divide whole equation by 2 we get,

x² + x – 12 = 0

x² + 4x – 3x – 12 = 0

x(x + 4) – 3(x + 4) = 0

(x – 3) (x + 4) = 0

x = 3, -4

Thus, The actual roots of f(x) are 3 and (-4).
