Find the roots of f(x)=x^2+10x−96 I really just need the step by step-
cant find out how to get the answer

x = -16 or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots of a polynomial function, set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x.

x² + 10x - 96 = 0

We need to factor the left side. The left side is a quadratic polynomial whose first coefficient is 1. We need two numbers whose product is -96 and whose sum is 10. The numbers are 16 and -6.

(x + 16)(x - 6) = 0

If a product of two factors equals zero, then one factor or the other or both must equal zero.

x + 16 = 0  or  x - 6 = 0

x = -16 or x = 6

did you get the answer yet?
