Question

If 5 is a root of the quadratic equation x²+4x-45=0 find the other root of the equation
​

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

x² + 4x - 45

x² + (9x - 5x) - 45

x² + 9x - 5x - 45

x(x + 9) - 5(x + 9)

(x + 9)(x - 5)

x + 9 = 0

x = -9

Answer 2

Answer: -9

Explanation:

If 5 is a root of the quadric equation, then

x²+4x-45=0

x²-5x+9x-45=0

x(x-5)+9(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x+9)=0

The other root is -9
