Solution by factoring

Example 1   Find the roots of each quadratic by factoring.

a)  x² − 3x + 2 b)  x² + 7x + 12 (x − 1)(x − 2) (x + 3)(x + 4) 

x = 1  or  2.  x = −3  or  − 4 c)  x² + 3x − 10  d)  x² − x − 30(x + 5)(x − 2) (x + 5)(x − 6)  x = −5  or  2      x = −5  or  6.

 a)   x²  =  5x − 6   b)   x² + 12  =  8x

 

  x² − 5x + 6 = 0     x² − 8x + 12 = 0

 

  (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0   (x − 2)(x − 6) = 0 

  x = 2  or  3.   x = 2  or  6.

 

   c)   3x² + x  = 10   d)   2x²  =  x

 

  3x² + x − 10 = 0     2x² − x = 0

 

  (3x − 5)(x + 2) = 0   x(2x − 1) = 0

 

  x = 5/3  or − 2.   x = 0  or  1/2.
