Identify Equation: Identify the quadratic equation to be solved.The given quadratic equation is d2+7d+12=0.
Factor Equation: Factor the quadratic equation.We need to find two numbers that multiply to 12 and add up to 7. The numbers 3 and 4 satisfy these conditions because 3×4=12 and 3+4=7.
Write Factored Form: Write the equation in its factored form.The factored form of the equation is (d+3)(d+4)=0.
Set Equal and Solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for d.First, set d+3=0 and solve for d.Subtract 3 from both sides to get d=−3.
Solve First Factor: Solve the second factor.Now, set d+4=0 and solve for d.Subtract 4 from both sides to get d=−4.
Write Solutions: Write the solutions for the equation d2+7d+12=0. The solutions are d=−3 and d=−4.
