You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I will do a) and let you do b)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We know that roots take the form of x-k=0 where k is a root
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so (x-5)(x-(-2)=0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-5%29%28x%2B2%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B2x-5x-10=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x%5E2-3x-10=0%29\"$ is our quadratic equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now for b)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-3/4 is one root and -2/3 the other
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so you would start out (x+(3/4))(x+(2/3)) and go from there \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
