x2 - 15 = 2x x2 - 2x - 15 = 0 x2 - 2x - 15 = (x - 5)(x + 3) x = 5, -3
If that's - 2x - 15, the answer is either (x - 5) or (x + 3)
17
(x - 3)*(x + 5)*(x - 1) = 0 (x2 - 3x + 5x - 15)*(x - 1) = 0 (x2 + 2x - 15)*(x - 1) = 0 (x3 + 2x2 - 15x - x2 - 2x + 15) = 0 ie x3 + x2 - 17x + 15 = 0
x2 - 2x - 13 = 0 x2 - 2x + 1 = 14 (x - 1)2 = 14 x - 1 = ±√14 x = 1 ±√14 x ≈ {4.742, -2.742}
If the expression is, x2 + 2x - 15 this has factors of (x + 5)(x - 3). If the expression is, x2 - 2x - 15 then the factors are (x - 5)(x + 3)
negative four: x2 - 2x + 5 = x2 - 2x + 5 - 4 = x2 - 2x + 1 = (x - 1)2
If you mean x2 + 2x + 15: Then the answer would be that it's a quadratic expression with no factors. If you mean x2 - 2x + 15: Then it can be factored out to: (x - 5)(x + 3) If you mean x2 + 2x - 15: Then it can be factored out to: (x + 5)(x - 3)
x2 + 2x - 15 = (x - 3)(x + 5)
x2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
x2 - 2x - 5 = 0 x2 - 2x + 1 = 6 (x - 1)2 = 6 x - 1 = ± √6 x = 1 ± √6
x2-2x-15 = (x+3)(x-5) when factored
x2 + 2x - 13 = 2 x2 + 2x - 15 = 0 (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0 x + 5 = 0 and x - 3 = 0 so x = -5 and x = 3
x2-2x = 15 x2-2x-15 = 0 (x-5)(x+3) = 0 Therefore: x = 5 or x = -3
x2+2x-15 = (x+5)(x-3) when factored
x2 - 15 = 2x x2 - 2x - 15 = 0 x2 - 2x - 15 = (x - 5)(x + 3) x = 5, -3
If that's - 2x - 15, the answer is either (x - 5) or (x + 3)
