x² + 3x +2= 0 solve by factorization

Sagot :

Answer:

  • x = -1 or -2

[tex]\: [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\: [/tex]

Let us first split the middle term 3x as 2x + 1x [because (2x) × (1x) = 2x² = x² × 2]

[tex]\: [/tex]

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0 \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x^2 + 2x + 1x + 2 \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x(x + 2) +1 (x + 2) \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: (x + 1)(x + 2) \\ \\ [/tex]

  • x² + 3x +2= 0 can be rewritten as (x + 1)(x + 2) = 0

[tex]\: [/tex]

  • So, the values of x for which x² + 3x +2= 0 are the same for which (x + 1)(x + 2)

[tex]\: [/tex]

i.e., either x + 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0.

[tex]\: [/tex]

Now,

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x + 1 = 0 \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \:

x = -1 \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x + 2 = 0 \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x = -2.

\\ \\ [/tex]

Hence,

[tex]\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: x = -1 \: or \: -2 \\ \\ [/tex]
