What are the solutions to the equation x2 +2x-8=0

x = -4, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic equation, so you can either solve it by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Let's use factoring because this isn't a particularly hard one to factor.

This factors out to (x+4)(x-2), and you can now use the zero product property to find the solutions.

The property states that when two (or any amount) of numbers are being multiplied and the result is zero, at least one of the factors are zero.

The first factor is (x+4), and we need to find out for what value does (x+4) equal to zero. We can set up an equation to figure this out:

x+4 = 0

(Subtract 4 from both sides)

x=-4

The second factor is (x-2), and we need to find out for what value does (x-2) equal to zero. We can set up another equation to figure this out:

x-2 = 0

(Add to to both sides)

x = 2

So the solutions are -4 and 2. Hope this helped!

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
