find the value of x by factarization method
Answers
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -14x its coefficient is -14 .
The last term, "the constant", is -120
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -120 = -120
Step-2 : Find two factors of -120 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -14 .
-120 + 1 = -119
-60 + 2 = -58
-40 + 3 = -37
-30 + 4 = -26
-24 + 5 = -19
-20 + 6 = -14 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -20 and 6
x2 - 20x + 6x - 120
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-20)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
6 • (x-20)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+6) • (x-20)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(x + 6) • (x - 20) = 0
Correction:-
x²-14x-120=0
find the Value of x?
Write down the Equation↓
→x²-14x-120=0
In this equation, The middle term is considered as Sum of Equation and The Other 2 Side terms Are considered product of The Equation, On Simplifying them, We get
S=-14
P=-120
(-)20+6=-14
(-)20×6=-120
→x²-20x+6x-120=0
→x(x-20)+6(x-20)=0
•Taking (x+6)=0
→x+6=0
→x=-6
•Taking (x-20)=0
→x-20=0
→x=20
