the quadratic equation x^2 + 4x - 32 = 0. am be solved by factoring. which of the following is the factored form
To factor the quadratic equation x^2 + 4x - 32 = 0, we need to find two binomials that multiply to give -32 and add up to 4.
The factors of -32 are:
1 and -32
2 and -16
4 and -8
The sum of the pair of factors that adds up to 4 is 4 and -8.
Therefore, the factored form of the quadratic equation x^2 + 4x - 32 = 0 is:
(x + 8)(x - 4)
