Supply the number so that the quadratic equation below has 6 and 8 as its solutions. x^ 2 -14x+ blank=0

Answer 1

To find the missing number, we can use the fact that if a quadratic equation has two roots, the equation can be written as (x - root1)(x - root2) = 0.

Given that the solutions are 6 and 8, we can set up the equation as follows:
(x - 6)(x - 8) = 0

Now, we can expand and simplify the equation:
x^2 - 14x + 48 = 0

Therefore, the missing number is 48.
