To find the missing number in the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 14x + \_\_ = 0 \) such that the solutions are 6 and 8, we can use the fact that a quadratic can be expressed in factored form as:
\[
(x - r_1)(x - r_2) = 0
\]
where \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) are the solutions (in this case, 6 and 8).
Using this formula, we can express the quadratic equation:
\[
(x - 6)(x - 8) = 0
\]
Now, we will expand this product:
\[
x^2 - 8x - 6x + 48 = x^2 - 14x + 48
\]
This shows that the constant term in the equation must be 48. Thus, filling in the blank, we get:
\[
x^2 - 14x + 48 = 0
\]
The missing number is **48**.
\[
(x - r_1)(x - r_2) = 0
\]
where \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) are the solutions (in this case, 6 and 8).
Using this formula, we can express the quadratic equation:
\[
(x - 6)(x - 8) = 0
\]
Now, we will expand this product:
\[
x^2 - 8x - 6x + 48 = x^2 - 14x + 48
\]
This shows that the constant term in the equation must be 48. Thus, filling in the blank, we get:
\[
x^2 - 14x + 48 = 0
\]
The missing number is **48**.
