Question

x^2 - 5x - 25 = 0, Solve the quadratic equation

Answer 1

Answer:

No factors can be found which are satisfied by this equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

x²– 5x – 25

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .

The last term, "the constant", is -25

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -25 = -25

Step-2 : Find two factors of -25 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .

-25 + 1 = -24

-5 + 5 = 0

-1 + 25 = 24
