You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Yes it can, think of it as working backwards from solving a quadratic by factoring
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x=-10, from a factor (x+10)
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1, from a factor (x+1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL (x+10)*(x+1) = x^2 + x + 10x + 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = x^2 + 11x + 10; is the equation with solutions of -10, -1 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
