Respuesta :
When you factor our f(x)=x^2+x-30, you get (x+6)(x-5). In order to get your zeroes you need to plug in values that would make each of those two parentheses equal to zero. So in this case since -6+6=0 and 5-5=0, your zeros would be x=-6 and x=5.
Answer:
Answer A is correct. (x + 6)(x - 5) = x^2 + x - 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that -30 = (-5)(6) and (5)(-6). This quadratic can be factored easily:
x^2 + x - 30 = (x + 6)(x - 5) is correct because 6x - 5x = x, the middle term of x^2 + x - 30.
Setting each factor equal to zero, one by one, we get:
x + 6 = 0 => x = -6, and x - 5 = 0 => x = 5
Answer A is correct.
