Answer:
x = 12, x = -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 8x - 48 = 0.
This factors to (x - 12)(x + 4) = 0.
Proof:
(x - 12)(x + 4) = 0
first: x * x
outer: 4 * x
inner: -12 * x
last: -48.
first: x²
outer: 4x
inner: -12x
last: -48
x² + 4x - 12x - 48
x² - 8x - 48.
To find the zeros, take the individual pairs and find the values that make the equation 0.
x - 12 = 0
Add 12 to both sides.
x = 12.
x + 4 = 0
Subtract 4 from both sides.
x = -4.
Answer:
x= 4 + 2√5, x = 4 - 2√5
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is quadratics so you can solve it by completing the square and using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac)) / (2a).
