Explanation:
I think you mean how to solve the quadratic using factorization.
x^2+13x+36=0
Let us start by finding factors of
Now we need to find which pair gives the sum of
We can see
Now solving the quadratic equation
x^2+13x+36 = 0
(x+4)(x+9)=0
By the zero product rule we get
x+4=0 orx+9=0
x=-4 orx=-9
The solution set would be
