Correct Question:-
➡ Solve the following quadratic equation and find it's root.
Answer:-
➡ The roots of the given equation are -1 and -12 respectively.
Solution:-
Given equation,
➡ w² +13w + 12 = 0
➡ w² + w + 12w + 12 = 0
Taking w as common,
➡ w(w + 1) + 12(w + 1) = 0
➡ (w + 1)(w + 12) = 0
By zero product rule,
➡ Either w + 1 = 0 or w + 12 = 0
So,
➡ w + 1 = 0
➡ w = -1
Also,
➡ w + 12 = 0
➡ w = -12
Hence, the roots of the given quadratic equation are -1 and -12 respectively.
Verification:-
➡ Let us verify our result.
When w = -1
w² + 13w + 12
= (-1)² + 13×(-1) + 12
= 1 - 13 + 12
= -12 + 12
= 0
➡ Hence, -1 is a solution.
Again,
When w = -12.
w² + 13w + 12
= (-12)² + 13×(-12) + 12
= 144 - 156 + 12
= -12 + 12
= 0
So, -12 is also a solution.
Hence, -1 and -12 are roots of the given quadratic equation (Verified)
Note:-
➡ Zero Product rule says that if a and b are two numbers of expression such that ab=0 then either a = 0 or b = 0 or both a and b equal to 0.
