Write an equation in which the quadratic expression 3x^2+6x-24 equals 0. Show the expression in factored form and explain what your solutions mean for the equation. Show your work.

Answer:

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0

(3x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

x = -4 , x = 2 when y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² + 6x - 24 = 0

(3x - 6)(x + 4) = 0

Means

3x - 6 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 6 ⇒ x = 6 ÷ 3 = 2

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4

The Parabola which represents the quadratic equation intersects x-axis at

points (2 , 0) and (-4 , 0)
