What are the solutions of the quadratic equation?

x^2 + 11x = - 24

A.) - 3, - 8

B.) - 3, 8

C.) 3, - 8

D.) 3, 8

A.-3, - 8 (by using quadratic formula)

In this proble, we are asked to determine the roots of the quadratic equation x^2 + 11 x = - 24. The standard form is x^2 + 11 x + 24 = 0. the second term is the negative sum of the roots and the third terms is the equal to the product of the roots. Hence the roots should be - 3 and - 8.
