Answer:
C. x=-5 or x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor [tex]x^{2}[/tex]-15x−100 using the AC method
(x-20)(x+5)=0
If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to 0, the entire expression will be equal to 0
x−20=0
x+5=0
Set x−20 equal to 0and solve for x
x=20
Set x+5 equal to 0 and solve for x
x=−5
The final solution is all the values that make (x−20)(x+5)=0 true. The multiplicity of a root is the number of times the root appears.
x=20(Multiplicity of 1)x=−5 (Multiplicity of 1)
