which is a factor of $x^{2}+5x - 24$?\n$(x - 6)$\n$(x + 6)$\n$(x - 8)$\n$(x + 8)$
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Factor the quadratic expression
We need to factor (x^{2}+5x - 24). We look for two numbers that multiply to (-24) and add up to (5). The numbers are (8) and (- 3) since (8\times(-3)=-24) and (8+( - 3)=5). So (x^{2}+5x - 24=(x + 8)(x-3)).
Answer:
D. ((x + 8))
