Question 453785
"How do I write a quadratic equation using -6, and -4 as solutions."


Start with solution and work backwards:


x = -6 or x = -4
x + 6 = 0 or x + 4 = 0 {added 6 and added 4 to both sides}
(x + 6)(x + 4) = 0 {multiplied the two binomials and set equal to 0}
x² + 10x + 24 = 0 {used foil method}
