Determine the factors of x2 − 8x − 12. (x − 6)(x 2) (x 3)(x − 4) prime (x 6)(x − 2)

Sagot :

The polynomial cannot be factored in because it exists prime. Since 112 exists not a perfect square number so we cannot estimate the factors of the given equation.

What is a quadratic equation?

In a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0

when (b² - 4ac) exists a perfect square only then we can factorize the equation.

In the given equation x² - 8x - 12 we have to determine the value of

b² - 4ac

From the equation, we get b = -8 and c = -12

b²- 4ac = (-8)² - 4(1)(-12)

= 64 + 48 = 112

Since 112 exists not a perfect square number so we can not estimate the factors of the given equation.
