To solve the equation \((x - 7)(x + 9) = 0\), we can find the solutions by setting each factor equal to zero:
- \(x - 7 = 0 \implies x = 7\)
- \(x + 9 = 0 \implies x = -9\)
So, the solutions to the equation \((x - 7)(x + 9) = 0\) are \(x = 7\) and \(x = -9\).
Now let's analyze the options given:
-
\(x^2 = -2x + 63\)
Rearranging gives \(x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0\).
-
\(x^2 - 2x - 63 = 0\)
This can be factored or solved separately.
-
\(x^2 = 2x - 63\)
Rearranging gives \(x^2 - 2x + 63 = 0\) which does not match.
-
\(x^2 + 2x = -63\)
Rearranging gives \(x^2 + 2x + 63 = 0\) which does not match.
Next, we can check option 1 and 2:
-
The quadratic \(x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0\) can be factored into \((x - 7)(x + 9) = 0\), which has the same solutions \(x = 7\) and \(x = -9\).
-
The quadratic \(x^2 - 2x - 63 = 0\) factors into \((x - 9)(x + 7) = 0\), which has the solutions \(x = 9\) and \(x = -7\), but these are not the same.
Therefore, the equation that has exactly the same solutions as \((x - 7)(x + 9) = 0\) is:
\(x^2 = -2x + 63\), which rearranges to \(x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0\).
