find the zeroes of the equation: x^2+x-6=y

Answer 1

Start by factoring the equation. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

is it using the FOIL method?

Answer 3

correct.

Answer 4

so i know its foil, but i'm not sure how to foil this one out.

Answer 5

OK. x^2 + x - 6:

Start with (x )(x )

We have to figure out 2 numbers when MULTIPLIED by each other gives -6, and when ADDED together gives 1. can you figure out these?

Answer 6

uhhh. no. i can't think of anything.

Answer 7

how about 3 and -2?

So you have (x+3)(x-2) = 0
