  1. Answer:

    In the

    A

    x

    2

    +

    B

    x

    +

    C

    The C term is negative this means that one binomial factor must be negative and the other positive.

    The B term is positive this means that the positive binomial factor must be larger than the negative binomial factor.

    The B coefficient is 2 so there must be a difference of 2 between the two binomial factors.

    Factors of 63 are

    63 x 1

    21 x 3

    9 x 7

    The set of factors for 63 with a difference of 2 are 9 and 7 so

    the factors of

    x

    2

    +

    2

    x

    63

    are

    ( x +9) xx ( x -7)

  2. Answer:

    [tex] = > {x}^{2} + 2x – 63 = 0 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 9x – 7x – 63 = 0 \\ = > x(x + 9) – 7(x – 9) = 0 \\ = > (x + 9)(x – 7) = 0 \\ = > x + 9 = 0 \: or \: x – 7 = 0 \\ = > x = – 9 \: or \: 7[/tex]
