2. write an equation in which the quadratic expression 2x^2-2x-12 equals 0. show the expression in factored form and explain what your solutions mean for the equation. show your work.

step-by-step explanation:

equation

you are asked to write the equation

  expression = 0

using the given expression. when you do that, you have

  2x^2-2x-12 = 0

factoring

you can see that each of the coefficients is even, so a factor of 2 can be removed immediately.

  2(x^2 -x -6) = 0

if you multiply the binomials (x+a)(x+b), you get

  (x +a)(x +b) = x^2 +(a+b)x +ab

this tells you the coefficient of x is the sum of two factors of the constant term. here, that means -1 is the sum of two factors of -6. we want to know those factors so we can factor the trinomial.

  -6 = -1×6 = -2×3 = -3×2 = -6×1

the factor pair that sums to -1 is {-3, 2}, so our factorization is

  2(x -3)(x +2) = 0

solutions

the solutions to this equation are the values of x that make the product zero. a product is zero only when only of the factors of the product is zero. here, that means

  x - 3 = 0

  x = 3 . . . add 3 to both sides of the equation

or

  x +2 = 0

  x = -2 . . . add -2 to both sides of the equation

the solutions to the equation are x=3 or x=-2. both of these values of x satisfy the equation—they make it be true.

explanation:

the loan estimate encourages consumers to shop. since it is the lenders who are required to issue a standardized loan estimate in a specific time frame, this way consumers are provided an opportunity to compare lenders and their products. otherwise consumer wouldn't know the benefits offered by other lenders.  

if a loan originator does not provide a loan estimate within 3 business days of receiving a completed loan application, that lender is in violation. lenders are required to issue a loan estimate within 3 days of applying for a loan or within 7 days prior to closing. having a loan estimate has following information.

not having loan estimate won't give you an idea of money to be borrowed.

you get to know your interest rates.

you also get to know if your interest rate can or may vary.

not having a good faith estimate can keep you unaware of aforementioned points.
