Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = x^2-3x+2x-6 $$
Answer
The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 3\\[1 em]x_2 &= -2 \end{aligned} $$Explanation
Step 1:
Combine like terms:
$$ x^2 \color{blue}{-3x} + \color{blue}{2x} -6 = x^2 \color{blue}{-x} -6 $$Step 2:
The solutions of $ x^2-x-6 = 0 $ are: $ x = -2 ~ \text{and} ~ x = 3$.
