Quadrato equation
x²+5x+6=0

x = - 3, x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 6) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 5)

The factors are + 3 and + 2, since

3 × 2 = + 6 and 3 + 2 = + 5, thus

(x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
