Answer:
Using the snowflake method, factors that multiply to give -14 and add to give -5 are: 2 and -7.
the factors are: (x+2)(x-7)
x = 7 x= -2
Explanation:
x^2 -5x -14 =0
What 2 numbers multiply to -14 and add to -5
-7*2 = -15
-7 +2 = -5
(x-7) (x+2) =0
Using the zero product property
x-7 =0 x+2 = 0
