Question

can you plese help me in solving this quadratic equation .by middle term break. x the power 2 +18x+32=0​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we have, x²+18x+32=0

multiplying 1st term and last term,we get 32

factors of 32 are 16 and 2

and 16+2=18

therefore we write x²+18x+32=0 as

x²+(16+2)x+32=0

x²+16x+2x+32=0

x(x+16)+2(x+16)=0

(x+16)(x+2)=0

therefore factors are X+16 and X+2

either x+16=0, then X= -16

or X+2=0, then X= -2
