sol:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x-77=0
\n" ); document.write( "product of two numbers we get 77
\n" ); document.write( "and adding or subtracting we get 4
\n" ); document.write( "those numbers are 11 and 7
\n" ); document.write( "their product=11*7=77
\n" ); document.write( "subtracting those numbers=11-7=4
\n" ); document.write( "above equation can be written as
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+11x-7x-77=0
\n" ); document.write( "here 4 terms are there ,in 1 and 2 terms x is common
\n" ); document.write( "and 3 and 4 terms 7 is common
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+11)-7(x+11)=0
\n" ); document.write( "now x+11 is common term
\n" ); document.write( "(x+11)(x-7)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x+11=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=-11
\n" ); document.write( "x-7=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=7
\n" ); document.write( "the roots are 7 and -11
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
