O (x+8)
O (x-8)
O (x+4)
O(x-4)


Sagot :

The other factor for the given equation will be ( x - 4 ). The correct option is D.

What is a quadratic equation?

The polynomial having a degree of two or the maximum power of the variable in a polynomial will be 2 is defined as the quadratic equation and it will cut two intercepts on the graph at the x-axis.

The solution of the given quadratic equation will be:-

x² + 2x - 24 = ( x² + 6x -4x -24 )

                   = [ x( x + 6) - 4 ( x + 6 ) ]

                   = ( x + 6 ) ( x - 4 )

Therefore another factor for the given equation will be ( x - 4 ). The correct option is D.
