Question

Find the zeros of x square - 2 x minus 8

Answer 1

Answer:

▶Here's your answer

${x}^{2} - 2x - 8 \\ \\ {x}^{2} - 4x + 2x - 8 = 0 \\ \\ x(x - 4) + 2(x - 4) = 0 \\ \\ (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 \\ \\ so \: zeroes \: are \: \\ \\ x =$

$x = 4 \: and \: - 2$

Hope it helps ✌

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, p(x) =0

x2-2x-8=0

We find root using splitting the middle term method

x2-4x+2x-8=0

x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

(x+2)(x-4)=0

So, x= -2 , 4
