To solve the quadratic equation, we make \(y = 0\) and since the question already gave us the quadratic in its factorised form, we will use this to solve to find values for \(x\).

In the typical quadratic equation--X2 - BX + C = 0—students would try and solve for the two different values of X using a rule of thumb: The value of B should equal the sum of Xs two different ...
