Which equation is true for x = -6 and x = 2?
2x2 - 16x + 12 = 0
2x2 + 8x - 24 = 0
3x2 - 4x - 12 = 0
3x2 + 12x + 36 = 0
Solution:
Given x = -6 and x = 2
If these are roots of the equation, then they can be written as (x - a)(x - b)
so,(x - (-6))(x - 2)
=(x + 6)(x - 2)
= (x2 - 2x + 6x - 12)
= (x2 + 4x - 12)
Multiply this equation with ‘2’, we get
2x2 + 8x - 24
Hence, this is the required equation
Which equation is true for x = -6 and x = 2?
Summary:
2x2 + 8x - 24 equation is true for x = -6 and x = 2.
