Answer :

Given:

The quadratic equation is:

[tex]x^2+x-30=0[/tex]

To find:

The solutions of the given equation.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]x^2+x-30=0[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]x^2+6x-5x-30=0[/tex]

[tex]x(x+6)-5(x+6)=0[/tex]

[tex](x+6)(x-5)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex]x+6=0[/tex] and [tex]x-5=0[/tex]

[tex]x=-6[/tex] and [tex]x=5[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions of the given quadratic equation are -6 and 5.
