Factor completely and find the roots of the following. x^2+12x+27=0

x = - 9, x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 12x + 27 = 0

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 27) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 12)

The factors are + 9 and + 3, since

9 × 3 = 27 and 9 + 3 = 12, hence

(x + 9)(x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
