None of the quadratic equations above can be solved by grouping.
need to pick one wich one
If you need to pick one quadratic equation that can be solved by grouping, it would be:
x^2 - 4x - 8 = 0
x^2 - 4x - 8 = 0
a b or d
If you need to choose between options a, b, or d, the quadratic equation that can be solved by grouping is:
b) x^2 + 10x + 21 = 0
b) x^2 + 10x + 21 = 0
x2+10x+21=0
(x+7)(x+3) = 0
x = -7 or x = -3
(x+7)(x+3) = 0
x = -7 or x = -3
You are correct. The quadratic equation x^2 + 10x + 21 = 0 can be solved by grouping. By factoring, we have (x + 7)(x + 3) = 0, which means x = -7 or x = -3. Well done!
