Question 9337: Here is one that I am stuck on. Actually I have two of them. I might as well give both.
1. Choose the correct factored form for x^ - 12x + 35
I am stuck. Either it is (x + 7)(x + 5) or it is (x - 7)(x - 5)
2. Choose the correct solutions for the quadratic equation x^2 + 3x - 10 + 0.
I believe the answer to this one is (-5, 2)
Thanks
