x^2+2x-8=0 then factorization splitting middle term we get x^2+4x-2x-8=0 Taking common we get x(x+4)-2(x+4)=0 after that we get (x-2) (x+4)=0 Hence we get x=2 or x= -4

This is an equation of form ax^2 + bx + c Use the formula for calculating the roots as- x = (-b + (b - 4ac)^1/2 ) / 2a & x = (-b - (b - 4ac)^1/2 ) / 2a Substituting values into the variables you will get- x = (-2 + (2 - 4 x (1) x (-8)) ^1/2 ) / (2 x (1)) & x = (-2 - (2 - 4 x (1) x (-8)) ^1/2...

x^2 + 2x - 8=0 x^2 + 4x - 2x - 8=0 x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4) = 0 (x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 x = - 4 or 2

Ms Zeba : The factors given are perfectly alright but the solution is incomplete. The factors (x+4)(x-2)=0,means x=-4 & x=2 give complete solution of given equation.

The key is to write 2x as (4-2)x as 4*2=8 rest is simple.x(x+4)-2(x+4)=0 (x-2)(x+4)=0 x=2 or -4

Teacher by Choice, not by profession

x^2+4x-2x-8=0 => x(x+4)-2(x+4)=0 => (x-2)(x+4)=0 => x= 2, -4
