Question
Find all real or imaginary solutions to each equation.Use the method of your choice.$$m^{2}+2 m-24=0$$
Step 1
We are looking for two numbers that multiply to -24 (the constant term) and add up to 2 (the coefficient of the linear term). The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 6 and -4. Therefore, we can write the equation as: $$m^{2}+2 m-24=(m+6)(m-4)=0$$ Show more…
