Identify quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation to be solved.The given quadratic equation is n2+13n+22=0. We need to find two numbers that multiply to 22 and add up to 13.
Factor quadratic equation: Factor the quadratic equation.We are looking for two numbers that multiply to give 22 and add to give 13. The numbers 11 and 2 satisfy these conditions because 11×2=22 and 11+2=13.So, we can write the quadratic equation as (n+11)(n+2)=0.
Solve using zero product property: Solve for n using the zero product property.If (n+11)(n+2)=0, then either n+11=0 or n+2=0.
Solve first equation: Solve the first equation n+11=0.Subtract 11 from both sides to isolate n.n+11−11=0−11n=−11
Solve second equation: Solve the second equation n+2=0. Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate n. n+2−2=0−2n=−2
